It’s hard to say how many units are actually selling. I met with HP yesterday and they admitted they cannot keep up with the sales yet and that they are producing a “bunch” of the Mini-Note.

Asus claims that over a million Eee PCs have been sold so far. With the momentum this market is gaining through the many announcements at Computex, plus the release of the HP Mini before that, the market might hit the target. I think much of it will depend on consumer awareness and how ready folks are for the paradigm shift of portability in lieu of raw performance.

“Eee too, Brute?”

“Manufacturers looking for a piece of the growing market segment were quick to release a series of ‘Eee too’ products.”

It will be interesting to see how this segment evolves. With new offerings from Asus, HP, GeCube, Dell and Acer, the market is quickly becoming saturated. Any indications of early sales figures? The Eee 701 sold a few hundred thousand units; hard to see how this segment will hit the predicted 10-15 million units in 2008 when the year is almost half over.
