Based on current analysis by Best Buy, Radio Shack, Circuit City, CompUSA and Staples in US: Notebook shipments rose 57.7 percent during the first three weeks of the holiday shopping season as compared with the same period last year. These is no surprise, reviewing Dell catalog for December 2006 issue in my hand, the cheapest new notebook with wide display, AMD Sempron 3500+, 512MB DDR-2 SDRAM, 60GB SATA HDD and ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 is for RM2,249.00 it's less than USD1k.
Again despite issues like performance and capacity, technology lag, reliability, expandability, configurability and upgradeability shadowing the usage of notebooks for years, it is clearly demonstrate that price will is always win the users heart.
As if I could only have one computer, though, it would be a notebook, but only because client support is my primary task and I've gotten comfortable doing it in the client site rather than in my office.
