Netbooks Rocking Sales

Engadget just pointed out that netbooks now take up nine of the top ten sales slots on Amazon.com’s in their Laptop Computers category. The white Apple MacBook, at $1,278, is the only traditional laptop that manages to stay on the list. It’s easy to tell why the netbooks are destroying the legacy machines: they’re 1/3 the price ($329-$479).

Mark my words: the disruption caused by the netbook will cause Sony to stop selling laptops altogether, and will force Dell to scale back its operations significantly.

The computer market will never be the same.
