Laptops running Google Inc’s Chrome OS were the top three best-selling computers on Amazon.com in the US ahead of Christmas, with the top two spots going to Chromebooks made by Taiwan’s top two computer makers Acer Inc (宏碁) and Asustek Computer Inc (華碩).
According to Amazon’s listing based on sales from Nov. 1 to Dec. 19, the No. 1 seller was the 11.6-inch Acer C720 Chromebook, followed by the 13.3-inch Asustek Chromebook C300 and the 11.6-inch HP Chromebook 11.
In 2013, Chromebooks took two of the top three spots, with a Samsung Electronics Co model taking the top spot an Acer model ranking third.
New data from market intelligence firm ABI Research show that worldwide shipments of Chromebooks, which emphasize Internet connectivity more than traditional Windows-based computers, were forecast to reach 4.1 million units last year, almost double the 2.1 million units shipped in 2013.
The top three Chromebook vendors — Acer, Samsung and Hewlett-Packard Co — accounted for 74 percent of shipment share during first half of last year, ABI Research said.
