Display Search reports netbooks market share. DisplaySearch reports that 22.2% of all notebooks shipped during the second quarter of 2009 were netbooks. Exactly what consitutes a netbook is not totally clear from the press release rleased by Display Search – does it only cover 10″ screens, or 11″. Perhaps it’s every ‘laptop’ with an Atom procssor – we just don’t know. There was some talk that netbook sales were increasing less rapidly, but from this data, it looks like we’re still seeing very healthy growth in the netbook market. Share and Enjoy:

One of two leaked slides from Asus Two slides have been leaked via the EeeUser forums and show what’s in store for Asus’s netbooks. Admitteldy, these slides focus on US models, but we expect UK models to follow in roughly the same manner. In short, Asus is planning on introducing Nvidia’s Ion platform for the first time in a new 12″ netbook model called the 1201N. The new Eee PC 1201N will feature n Atom N270 CPU, 2GB RAM, a 250GB HDD, Bluetooth and 802.11n WiFi at be priced at $499 in the US in October.

I am looking into getting a netbook (samsung n120) but have no idea whether or not it is possible to load games such as Nexon’s Mabinogi or (with the help of an external disk drive) the Sims 3. Is it only the lack of a disk drive that keeps most people from gaming on them, or is there some other limitation?
