Asus aim for 8 million netbook sales in 2010


Asustek are aiming to ship 20 million notebooks throughout 2010, overtaking Toshiba and Lenovo. If they succeed, it will make them the fifth largest vendor worldwide.

From the 20 million, 8 million is expected to come from netbook sales. Asus are also expecting 30% of shipments to be from notebooks supporting USB 3.0. It's unclear whether this is just from notebooks they're aiming for 30% or if they will be adding it to their netbook line and expect 30% of total sales to be accounted to USB 3.0.
