I purchased an Acer One A0D521 Netbook for $298. My son was given an $800 iPad for Xmas last year. He had to buy a keyboard/docking station with protective shell because the virtual keyboard lacked. Trying it, I concurred. The Acer is better.Posted on Aug 26, 19:54
Asus got it right with the Transformer, combining Tablet and Ultrabook form factors.Posted on Aug 26, 19:37
Ultrabooks will only fly when they have an all day battery, and can be used as soon as you open the cover. My iPad now does everything I used to do on my laptop, and it is small enough to take with me nearly everywhere.Posted on Aug 26, 16:03
Wang is so deep in denial he hasn't noticed his plane's on fire and diving straight towards the ground.Posted on Aug 26, 12:21
If it's just iPad market, then indeed the tablet PC market is in trouble. I could never call iPad a PC. I have tried iPad... it kinda sucked versus a good laptop with real keyboard and mouse. Others could suck even more.Posted on Aug 26, 11:26
Except for United buying 11K iPads for their pilots and every retail outlet considering iPads for POS systems.And the fact that Apple will easily sell around 40 million iPads in 2011. Not bad for a product that did not exist 2 years ago

Sour grapes.Posted on Aug 26, 09:06
Based on Apple's figures, I believe Mr. Wang is not only wrong, but trying to guide a shift due to Acer's own losses to the iPad.Posted on Aug 26, 08:46
So people are being attracted to Ultrabooks - which don't yet exist and will be produced only in small volumes in the 4Q -that makes total sense - NOT!Posted on Aug 26, 07:19
News reports Acer loses money for first time, stockpiling inventory, losing against Apple. Acer turns around and says the market it lost is dead or dying off and that consumers going back to old PC form factors pre-tablets.
