Are netbooks they dead? After a minor actor (Sony), it is the turn of Samsung - according to our colleagues from Blogee - stop netbooks as such. The society is at the basis of a device that is very well sold (with reason), the NC10.
Without known the exact reasons, even if competition tablets - which is what we think - and the delays to Intel with the next Atom are two valid reasons.
Samsung abandons that a market: one 10-inch netbooks - the firm is never out of this framework - and will focus on traditional PCs, the ultrabooks and ultraportables classics in 11.6 inches and 12.1 inches.
Remains to be seen one thing: how will be equipped with the 11.6-inch for example. Given the fall in prices in the field of portable computers, an 11.6 inches with a Pentium processor or AMD (Llano or Brazzos) chip is not necessarily much more onerous than an Atom-based netbook.
It must be to say that the concept of netbook played on its price (soon 4 years ago) to sell: it was (and is) less rapid than a more traditional model, but it was (and is not) much cheaper. PCs equipped with a 15 inch screen where to high prices of some netbooks range, the deal is different.
