Analysis: Why the Internet savior will be killed by the Apple iPad?

Before 2007, it is difficult to imagine a low-priced notebook can be below $1,000. However, under the encouragement of the Intel Classmate and One Laptop Per Child XO project, ASUS took the lead in launching the Easy PC, pioneering the creation of netbooks. After that, almost every PC maker was forced to accept netbooks, and netbooks became popular quickly.

Like all fashion elements, netbooks have finally become over-gas products. Part of the reason is obviously the advent of the Apple iPad. The iPad has become a mobile assistant for different users to send and receive e-mails and Internet access, and has triggered a large number of Internet companies to follow suit to produce touch-screen tablets.

However, the real reason for the decline of the Internet is the failure to continue to evolve. After the introduction of the first two generations of products, the netbook configuration has stabilized: the display is 10.1 inches, the RAM capacity is 1GB-2GB, the hard disk capacity is 160GB, and the Windows operating system is running, the price is as low as 299 US dollars, but the upgrade cost of some products is higher. Such as better upgradeable design, sturdy body, 3G antenna or even high resolution display. However, there is not much difference in performance. It is difficult for users to distinguish between the $299 and $450 netbooks.

Recently launched netbooks almost all use Intel Dual Core Atom processor N550. However, according to the test, its performance is not significantly improved over the old version of the netbook.

At the same time, large-size notebooks have made greater progress, especially with Intel’s second-generation Core i-series platforms, which have improved overall performance and battery life. The 11-inch ultra-portable notebooks equipped with the AMD Fusion E-350 CPU have opened up a new market for notebooks, with relatively high performance and relatively long battery life. Prices are usually less than $500.

Of course, a large number of PC makers are still producing one or two netbooks, and even provide updates or upgrades, but the price of the Internet itself is no longer comparable. For example, Sony has completely abandoned production of Vaio netbooks. It is only a matter of time before the netbook exits the historical stage.

The barometer for measuring the state of the Internet market is the data sheet that we tested and evaluated last year and this year.

January-April 2010 18 Netbooks January-April 2011 2 Netbooks January-April 2011 The 3 AMD Fusion ultraportables data show that the number of netbooks has dropped dramatically, but it has not completely disappeared. During the same period, it evaluated 11 tablet PCs, including the iPad 2, Motorola Xoom and BlackBerry PlayBook.

Another set of data shows the number of readers of the CNET who read netbooks or tablets each month. The interest of readers in the Internet reached its peak in December 2009, and then fell month by month. Since Apple released the iPad in April 2010, the number of readers on the Internet has fallen by 54%; the interest in tablet PCs has increased steadily. 2011 4 In July, the number of readers reading tablets increased by 56% over the same period last year.

The following figure shows the relationship between a netbook and a tablet, which is drawn on a monthly basis when viewing a specific product page. Specific pages include product reviews, product specifications, or user reviews of netbooks or tablets.

Where will the traditional netbook go in the future? Perhaps it will not go too far, unless the next generation of netbooks can provide a large number of innovative upgrades, we will pay close attention to Intel's new Atom N2700 and N2800 processors can become netbook savior. Since the launch of the Internet, we have been paying attention to its future development, but the product is currently being hit by both sides of the tablet and ultra-portable notebooks, and it is very difficult to survive.

In addition, the user's purchase is also the key to the survival of a product.
