Currently netbook has occupied more than 22.2 percent of the whole mobile computing market including notebook and tablet PC and out of these numbers, the majority of market share fall in Asia, China and Latin America which contributes to the highest growth rate among other geographical area. Obviously, low cost and affordable pricing strategy play an important role especially in some developing countries that still not being saturated with mobile computing which always come in higher cost.
