Netbooks Likely to be Popular Purchases This Season

Low Cost Cells

Iowa City, IA (PRWEB) November 19, 2009

The netbook sector has been largely immune from the economic recession, and Iowa City, Iowa based Low Cost Cells believes many consumers will continue to purchase the small portable PCs this holiday season.

“A lot of business travelers are attracted to netbooks because they’re lightweight and are loaded with all the basics,” stated Nate Schmidt, president of Low Cost Cells. “Netbooks are also a good prime for those who want to buy starter computers for their children.”

Netbooks have accounted for 11.7 percent of overall roving PC sales in 2009, according to research firm Displaysearch. By the end of the year, ABI Research forecasts nearly 35 million netbooks will have shipped.
A recent survey of business technology professionals found that 36 percent are already using netbooks, and that statistic is expected to grow to 72 percent in the next two years.

“Netbooks are getting extremely democratic, and I would anticipate a lot of people will be interested in purchasing them as gifts this holiday season,” said Schmidt. “All of the netbooks we offer cost less than $ 200 when purchased with a plan from Verizon or AT&T.”

Among the netbooks on sale at Low Cost Cells are the HP Mini 1151 NR and the Gateway LT2016u, as well as the Lenovo S10 and the Acer Aspire One. All feature 10.1 inch screens and webcams that can be used for VOIP calls on such services as Skype, as well as the Windows operating system.

“For those who want the convenience of a smart phone and the features of a laptop, a netbook is the perfect choice,” said Schmidt.

In addition to offering netbooks, Low Cost Cells is an online distributor of cell phones for major cell phone carriers across the United States. The company’s goal is to provide the best value and service in the cell phone industry.
