Lenovo on the future of the netbook

TECH.BLORGE spoke to Lenovo’s Worldwide Competitive Analyst, Matt Kohut, about his vision of the future of netbooks, which involves Windows 7, bigger screens, built-in 3G, touch integration, and lower prices. Among his predictions are -

Windows 7 will be the dominant operating system on netbooks in the future partly due to its touch functionality.

Future netbooks will have distinguishing features such as integrated 3G and bigger screens as manufacturers try to push the price point higher. Netbooks will become larger, moving into the 12" segment.

Notebooks will not go away as Intel is trying very hard to limit what netbooks can do.
