Here\u2019s an excerpt from a <a href=\"http:\/\/dodgeretort.com\/netbooks\/whatever-happened-to-netbooks\">Bloomberg BusinessWeek article<\/a> in early April:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Netbook shipments to retailers from January through March are expected to grow 33.6% compared with a year ago, to 4.8 million units, IDC says. That\u2019s significantly slower growth than in the first quarter of 2009, when netbook sales leapt 872%, to 3.6 million units. \u201cEveryone tried to make these mini-notebooks out to be a different category, or different type of device,\u201d says IDC analyst Richard Shim. \u201cIn fact, people think of them as just another type of PC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Falling sales aren\u2019t the only problem dogging netbooks. There\u2019s evidence that demand for netbook components is declining. The Web site DigiTimes reported on Mar. 30 that makers of the liquid-crystal-display panels used in netbooks are cutting production because of declining orders. PC makers including Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), andAcer declined to comment on whether inventories of unsold netbooks are on the rise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Netbooks have simply run their course. They are under-powered \u2014 Tweetdeck absolutely swamps mine especially when I follow something such as the tragic shootings yesterday in Arizona (\u201cGiffords\u201d) or live during a game (\u201cCeltics or Patriots\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Given a choice, wouldn\u2019t you buy a full netbook? A  notebook with a full keyboard, display and more powerful CPU can be had for the same price as a netbook and sometimes for less. I bought a HP Pavilion notebook for $290 in late 2009 and it is superior to the two netbooks I own  (the Pavilion retailed for more than $600, but Best Buy discounted because it was an open box and gave me even more off the price because of a problem with another notebook).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dodgeretort.com\/netbooks\/whatever-happened-to-netbooks\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued here<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/johnwp.jpg\" alt=\"john\" class=\"attachment wp-att-7167 alignleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By John Dodge<\/p>\n<p>Netbooks were all the rage in 2009 and a dog in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The bloom came off the netbook rose early last year, possibly in anticipation of the iPad and then directly from the wildly popular tablet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[4873,37,38,39,4874,41,42,43,44,45],"class_list":["post-19615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dodge-retort","tag-dodge-retort","tag-hp-pavilion-notebook","tag-idc","tag-ipad","tag-john-dodge","tag-liquid-crystal-display","tag-mini-notebooks","tag-problem","tag-rage","tag-tragic-shootings"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dodge Retort: Whatever happened to Netbooks?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"By John Dodge Netbooks were all the rage in 2009 and a dog in 2010.
