But then, my needs aren't great, either. It's not for everybody. I do just that, in part, because I enjoy the portability and, in part, because I’m not a big upgrader.

Does it include online stores that custom assemble desktops for you? and finally, would this make a big difference to the figures? I don't think Laptops will 'take over' the desktop market, many people have a laptop as well as their desktop. People such as myself don't have a need for a laptop (extra cost, still lesser components due to size restrictions, poor screen in general, poor input in general) I feel laptops are a seperate market entierly for most people. I hope people don't buy laptops as a replacement for a desktop that always sits on the desk. Seems to be very impracticle.
