Well what do you know? Netbook<\/a> growth is so low right now that in a recent report by NPD, Morgan Stanley Research lists last months growth as a negative number. That\u2019s right, people are apparently selling the notebooks back or something. (not really, but no one is buying netbooks right now)<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley\u2019s Katy Huberty\u2019s report<\/a> is intended to show the state of the netbook market and since the iPad was announced, netbooks declined\u00a0steadily. She states that the iPad is partly\u00a0responsible to the loss sales. August saw a 4% decline over last year\u2019s numbers and apparently\u00a0September\u00a0will produce similar numbers. If the back to school spending spree can\u2019t save netbooks, nothing can. Not even Santa.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t agree more with the claim that the iPad hurt the netbook market, but let\u2019s not put the netbook\u2019s huge decline totally on the $500 iPad. You can\u2019t convince me that netbook and iPad shoppers are the same demographic.\u00a0Netbooks had their 15 minutes of fame last year and were already on a steady downward trend by the time the iPad hit the market in April. Could it be that mainstream consumers finally wised up and opted for a modern notebook instead of underpowered crap? I sure hope so.<\/p>\n

Best Buy\u2019s CEO recently stated to the Wall Street Journal that internal estimates pegs the iPad with\u00a0cannibalizing\u00a0notebook sales by as much as 50%. That seems more like it. A good chunk of customers that walk into Best Buy looking for a laptop, expect to pay a certain amount and the iPad is at the low-end of that scale.<\/p>\n

Tablets in general will probably appeal to those that have a working computer but are just looking for a fresh experience. Netbooks somewhat filled that market the last year, but the early hardware paired with Windows Vista likely turned off most buyers from exploring that route again and can perhaps partly explain their massive decline. Either way, I can\u2019t wait for the tablet to kill the netbook star.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
