This New York Times article talks about how netbooks are losing sales and are being replaced by tablets. A few years ago netbooks were seen as “industry changing” due to their lightweight and low cost. Now, netbooks are a thing of the past with things like the iPad on the market. The iPad is considered an even lighter portable device with more options. Netbooks were said to have taken away from the sales of notebooks, or laptops and now tablets are taking from the sales of netbooks.
Although technology is changing quickly and our devices are obsolete within a couple of years, we are benefiting from this competition. Prices are dropping lower than ever as companies continue to get more creative with how they deliver content.
