A just released report suggests that the notebooks exceed sales of desktop computers by the end of 2008/early 2009. So what are you and I? That depends on where you sit. Home users have different needs in a mobile workers. Take a look at your PC. Is it that you have a printer? You may have a beautiful 23 "monitor or flat screen to your computer as a TV / entertainment system with the family. Well, you really do not want to replace with a laptop? Probably not.
Now take a different angle. Your PC is aufgestapelt in an area under your staircase. There is a real danger beat your subconscious when you try to directly on the chair that you from the dining room - yes, I did so. And your printer - ah, you do not, there is not enough space beside the bed cats! Maybe it’s time to buy a notebook - you must not use the computer to something other than shipping. The premium - no longer hurt neck under the stairs and the cat is no longer a small fan blowing forms of dust in his face.
Two very different ideas from the office to home. But why not the users, the purchase of laptops? The price. Back about four years, and it is a different world. A small laptop cost is not that some big money. Times have changed. Low costs of production and the announcement of the nuclear-Intel processor markets have changed. They have never been so good. Here, the United Kingdom, you can go now, a notebook, cheap to about £ 200 - very cheap. Among the innovations such as the PC Asus EEA and its small size, and I predict that manufacturers will be to see a real upturn in sales in the next few years.
The economy
Professional users have different needs. Not so long ago, businesses, a computer for the workers. The mobility has changed how we work. Working from home is always more. Many workers now visit the website customers. Take sales or engineers as an example. You can not take the ear with them their office. The companies they recognize and work to ensure that their staff not just a machine on which to store information, but a means to provide the company back SaaS (software as a service). If you are a worker in the team with a mobile computer and Internet access (GPRS card, dongle, etc.), it is not necessary to a desktop computer. Of course, a small number of machines of senior experts, the task is always necessary, but for work? N °
Then, what to do on the desk? Well, there are no dépérir and die, no matter what the analysts think. Forecasting sales figures show that there is still growth in the market, the small alebit - a figure. But there are still many users on their PC, which is like another member of the family. The growth of Internet and mobile devices ULCPCs impact - many providers build on this sector is accelerating.
One last thought: Even if your PC for itself, you can really justify the purchase of a shiny new notebook, just because it’s the fashion?
