sales, but we’re not stepping away from the [netbook] segment,”Acer’s senior product marketing and brand manager, Eric Ackerson, told Forbes. “We think there’s still opportunity for sales, including in the U.S.” Acer’s not ignoring the tablet market — its Acer Iconia Tab A500 recently launched in the United States — but it also has some new [url=http://www.laptopspark.com/products/SONY-VAIO-EB-Series-VPCEB45FXWI-Notebook-Intel-Core-i3-380M253GHz-155-4GB-Memory-DDR3-1066-640GB-HDD-laptop-273.html]SONY VAIO EB Series VPCEB45FX/WI Notebook Intel Core i3 380M(2.53GHz) 15.5" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 640GB HDD[/url]
up it sleeves that are expected to launch later this summer. The firm believes that netbooks, which are typically priced far below tablets, are beginning to offer an experience that’s on a par with notebooks thanks to bumps in hardware specs. “The death of [url=http://www.laptopspark.com/products/SONY-VAIO-EA-Series-VPCEA31FXBJ-NoteBook-Intel-Core-i3-370M240GHz-14-4GB-Memory-DDR3-1066-320GB-HDD-laptop-269.html]SONY VAIO EA Series VPCEA31FX/BJ NoteBook Intel Core i3 370M(2.40GHz) 14" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 320GB HDD[/url]
