Netbook Leader Board: 3Q 2008

2008’s third quarter has shown some interesting prospects for netbooks. The numbers are in, and the Acer Aspire One has overcome ASUS’ Eee PC for top units shipped.

Acer, owning a massive 38.3% chunk of the market, sold 2.15 million netbooks. ASUS sold 1.7 million, which marks in at 30.3%.

The Aspire One is now available cheaper than ever, with an XP-loaded version at Best Buy for $299. We’re excited to see how the competition heats up next year, considering the variety of ASUS’ new releases.
