Source : DigitimesThanks to the EEE PC which has already sold 700.000 devices, added to the 1,4 million traditional portables sold during the first quarter, ASUS succeeded in pushing Apple down to sixth place of manufacturers of laptops.
Success of this bottom-of-the-range computer with its rock bottom price is such that all manufacturers of portable PC are rushing to this segment so that they are not left behind in the rankings.
When one sees the lack of spirit of Apple to update the Mac mini, its only entry level product one can strongly doubt that they are following this tendency, preferring to confine themselves to the more expensive line and generating products with much better margins.
