Netbooks with 10- to 12-inch displays are expected to become the mainstream in the segment in 2010 as market demand for larger-size netbooks is rising, according to industry sources.
In 2010, the sources expect current 10-inch netbooks to be mainly positioned for entry-level markets to defend against the entrance of smartbooks. 10-inch models with touchscreen capabilities will be positioned for mid-range markets, and 12-inch models will be the major profit driver for the vendors.
