If you’re looking to pick up one of Asus’ 8.9-inch netbooks, be sure to do it soon. Asus reportedly has plans to completely discontinue their 8.9-inch netbooks sometime later this year.
Asus Asia-Pacific’s President, Benson Lin, sated that the 10-inch models have become more mainstream. It’s not clear if this was stated in reaction to lackluster sales, or of it’s something that the company’s marketing department came up with.
Still, it’s expected that their 10-inch models will account for 95 percent of Eee PC shipments, with the remaining 5 percent being 7-inch models for telecom service operators.
