The Taipei Computer Association Show, a trade show featuring computers and other electronics, drew an estimated 575000 visitors during its five day run in Taipei, doing a brisk business in LCD TVs, computers, laptops, and of course, netbooks.
Asus, which had two variants of its Eee PC and one regular laptop at the show, estimated that on Sunday, they were selling an estimated three laptops every minute. In all, Asus estimated that it grossed NT $100 million (about USD $3.2 million) over two days, although it was not made clear whether that was just from netbooks or overall sales. Either way, not bad for a weekend’s work.
Asus, was not the only vendor who did well. Acer reported selling out its stock of Aspire Ones with over 7,000 orders.
