Notebooks outselling desktop computers

November 8, 2005 by Mike Wendland 

According to the Gartner Inc. tech research firm, 55 million notebook computers were sold in the third quarter of 2005, a 17.2% increase from last year. One reason for the surge in sales: Prices have dropped. In my Free Press column today, I look at one of the new notebooks that illustrate how useful and powerful they’ve become. MIKE WENDLAND: Notebooks push aside desktop PCs; Toshiba has example of why.

One Response to “Notebooks outselling desktop computers”

    makes sense to me….

    in the work place
    those that travel for work can have one machine

    for those with small living quarters
    it can be closed and tucked away

    I still have a desktop
    well
    I also have a laptop (or two)

    but
    I could see with the HD and external HD potential and size
    the Desktop is really just for those looking to save a buck
