It realise total sense for a CEO to be affirmative about the hereafter of his or her intersection . But predict that netbooks will raise from 10 % of the PC market to 90%?Warren East , you ’ve lead and lose your judgment .
ARM ’s head honcho made the remark in an interview post today atPC Pro . His abstract thought ? Well … there was n’t really any . Not that was reported , at least . in all likelihood because it ’s an indefensible ( though attention - grabbing ! ) place .
This is nothing against netbooks as a class ! They manifestly scrape up an itching , particularly during a down economy . But unless they get importantly more muscular , there ’s no way they ’re going to make up the majority of PC sales , much less the super - ultra legal age East proposes . And if they do become that much more muscular , are they still netbooks ? Or are they ultraportables ? Or neither , since all these categories are reasonably much arbitrary marketingspeak anyway ?
