Although Asus started the netbook revolution with the popularity of its original Asus Eee PC, in Q3 2008, Acer overtook Asus, replacing the company as the top seller of netbooks thanks to sales of its Acer Aspire One. HP, MSI, and Dell fill out the distant third, fourth, and fifth places, respectively, in netbook sales according to a report by research firm DisplaySearch.

So if you've been wanting to own the most popular netbook, but weren't sure which one was most popular, for last quarter at least, it was the Acer Aspire One.
