Articles about 700: December 2, 2008

MSI estimated to sell 700,000 Wind netbooks this year

by Robert Nelson on Oct 24, 2008 at 09:10 AM

MSI WindMSI is expected to reach sales of somewhere between 600,000 and 700,000 units for their Wind netbook.  Although it sounds like a big difference from the 4 million that Asus has sold, MSI is coming in well above their initial goal of 500,000.

The higher than expected sales are due in part because of “white-box vendors” in Europe and Southeast Asia who have purchased the Wind netbook and then resold it under their own brand.  Of course, without the surge and popularity of the netbook in general right now, those “white-box vendors” may have been looking elsewhere for products.

In addition to the success with the Wind, MSI has stated that they are also expecting to sell 800,000 to 1 million of their own branded notebooks this year.  Assuming their sales figures are accurate, we may see MSI overtake Samsung for a top ten worldwide vendor position.
