"But in 2011, more note books are being sold. I think the trend will continue." In the first five months of 2011 Singer had sold 400 million rupees  worth computers with notebooks making up about 60 percent of sales  revenue. The firm now sells about 1,700 units a month, officials said. Singer says it is now the market leader in the home computer segment.   Singer this week launched a range of models from Asus, a Taiwan based  manufacturer: ASUS Lamborghini, ASUS Gaming, ASUS K series and ASUS  Transformer, a model in which the screen can be pulled away for use as a  tablet computer. Albert Tung regional director for South Asia at Asus Technology says it  is the third best selling notebook brand in the world. In 2011 the group  is 12 billion dollars in revenues of which 74 percent will be from  notebooks. Tung says in the short term he is expecting sell 500 units a month in Sri Lanka.                                                                                                 Singer says its top revenue earners are television, refrigerators and  sewing machines followed by computers. Though most of the sales are in  Sri Lanka's western province, officials say even notebooks are being  sold in areas as remote as Wellawaya. Peiris said the government's 'Gamata IT' program to take information technology to the village was helping broaden use. The firm estimates that 18 percent of Sri Lankan households now have a computer.LBO</blockquote>
