Acer dément l’abandon des netbooks

Nous avions été prudents dans le cadre de cette news qui rapportait des propos de Lu Bing-Hsian recueillis par notre confrère Computerworld, et nous avions raison. Acer a publié un communiqué officiel dans lequel il dément totalement l’abandon des netbooks au profit des tablettes tactiles. Le fabricant rajoutera donc des tablettes à son catalogue sans pour autant mettre de côté les netbooks puisque les deux types de produits ont leur place sur le marché.

Mobility, which has always been part of Acer’s DNA, finds a new form of expression in the range of tablets on offer, which feature various display sizes and models designed to fit different kinds of usage scenarios. Acer recognizes that the computer market is changing. As PCs are no longer only used to create content bur are more and more becoming consumption tools, new devices and new form factors are appearing.

This means the range of devices available to users is getting wider and tablets are just another piece of the mosaic. Therefore they will find their space next to netbooks and notebooks, without taking over.
