Why Apple Won’t Make a Netbook
Thu, Jan 22nd, 2009 |
Every PC maker on the planet loves netbooks because they're the fastest-growing segment (and the only growing segment) of the PC market. They all love netbooks--except Apple, that is. Here's why.
Rumors have been circulating for a very long time that Apple has been working on a netbook. Mac fans had hoped that one was going to be introduced at the recent Macworld show. Fans were disappointed when no netbook was announced. And at the Apple quarterly earnings call yesterday, Tim Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, made clear that no netbook will be forthcoming soon--if ever.
