According to sources close to producers, the company Samsung Electronics has a chance to surpass the company Asustek Computer in terms of supply netbooks in 2010. While some partners like Samsung expects that the manufacturer in 2010, ship the "only" seven million notebooks, while others believe that the company will be able to sell more than 10 million units, of which 7-8mln units will be netbooks.

Since Asustek Computer plans to sell next year, only six million Eee PC, a Samsung is quite tangible chance to become the second largest supplier of netbooks, second only to Acer, the source said. Acer is planning the following year shipped about 12 million netbooks, so in 2010, Acer will remain the leading brand of netbooks, but the rapid growth of Samsung in the segment of netbooks for Acer may be cause for concern and a potential threat. The company Asustek, which meets in 2010 to focus on the issue of traditional laptops, will invest less money in the segment of netbooks and probably passed an even stronger position in the market of its own invention.
