If you haven’t joined the netbook bandwagon yet, then you’re in luck or should we say, would be in luck? That is if the market trend in Taiwan spills over internationally, as Digitimes is reporting that netbook vendors are starting to clear their inventory by reducing the prices of their netbooks. These vendors are in rush to free up their netbooks before the year ends.

Except for MSI which could not reduce the price of its Wind netbook, Asus, Acer and HP have all brought down the prices of their netbooks.

Asustek Taiwan has already reduced the price of their oldest Eee PC, the 701 to around $249. It is also planning to reduce the prices of the Eee PC 1000 Linux version to around $530 from $624 and the Eee PC 1000H will get a price reduction of around $31. The Eee PC 901 Linux version will also get a price reduction from around $530 to around $468.

Similarly, Acer has also brought down the price of the Aspire One from around $524 to around $483. HP for its part has reduced the price of its 2133 Mini-Note Linux version from $558 to around $496

Digitimes also reported that more netbook price cut reduction will happen before the year ends.

So, you just might want to hold off your plan of buying a netbook now and wait till this market trend reaches the international market too.
