The economy is making cheaper netbooks popular.
The IDG News Service is reporting that netbooks are flying off the shelves. Research firm DisplaySearch says 16 million netbooks shipped last year, and 32 million could ship this year. Meanwhile, laptop shipments are expected to be flat, at 129 million. This is all not very surprising, given the low price point of netbooks, at $300 to $500. But while you may be tempted, netbooks may not be for you.
