Netbooks Propel Sales of External DVD Burners

Digitimes is reporting that some DVD manufacturers are also benefitting from the growing popularity of low-cost netbooks. PC accessory manufacturers such as Sony, Pioneer, LG, Asustek, BenQ and other brands have registered significant sales increase of their DVD burners since netbooks have became so popular.

Since netbooks don’t come with built-in DVD/DVD RW drives, users have resorted to buying third-party products that they use together with their netbooks.

Interestingly, just like the low-cost netbooks, these external slim netbooks are also selling at low costs as well, averaging from $83-$90.

Aside from DVD burners, if you have already bought one for your Eee PCs and other netbooks, what other accessories have you bought to complement your netbooks? USB Wi-Fi dongle? USB speakers?
