15 best netbooks in the world today

,----[ Quote ]
| This tiny form factor computer omitted the 
| optical drive in favour of USB ports, and even 
| ditched Windows, switching to Linux to keep 
| costs down. It was a brave move on Asus' part, 
| but one that paid off.

Linux Is Regaining Netbook Market Share Quickly

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite this ABI Research published some
| new data last month and the results may
| surprise you. They place the 2009 market
| share for Linux on netbooks at 32% with 11
| million units preloaded with Linux shipping
| this year. In an interview with
| DesktopLinux.com, Jeffrey Orr of ABI makes
| clear that dial boot machines (i.e.: the
| Acer Aspire One AOD250-1613) and machines
| that are purchased with Windows but later
| have Linux loaded do not count in the 32%
| number. That number is pure Linux sales.
| This data confirms comments made first by
| Jay Pinkert and later by Todd Finch of Dell
| that one third of their netbooks sales are
| Linux machines and that there is no higher
| return rate for Linux systems than there is
| for ones sold with Windows preloaded.
