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.
