For many, the end of the netbook is a fact. While these laptops and technology were in fashion between 2008 and 2010, in 2011 and 2012 very few companies are dedicated to making follow. These small became very popular in the U.S. market, but today it is very rare to find in stores. As tablets started to come into play, speed, portability and battery life ended up killing netbooks.
Now, according to a recent report, Asus plans to stop producing EeePC equipment, which would be a devastating blow to the industry as are available in the market about 20 different EeePC models. For now, only Asus and Acer are companies that still produce netbooks, and indeed the vast majority of them are sold in emerging markets such as South America and Southeast Asia.
Will 2013 go down as the year when netbooks completely stopped being produced?
