I definitely agree with some of the insights around the web lately. With the advent of netbooks, and the success stories, it wouldn't take a microbiologist to understand the correlation between rise in Netbooks' sales and laptop's revenue decline.
According to DisplaySearch, the decline in mobile PC sales is attributed to the rise of Netbook. Netbook revenue is up 264 percent from last year, and have contributed to an overall lowering of the average PC cost by 19 percent.
Why? People are getting busy, and they are more mobile right now. And carrying a bulky Toshiba Protege can be painful in the pocket and in the shoulders.
And Netbooks are light, cheap and they can be pretty useful too. The only weak points that I see with Netbooks are its power and reliability. Right now, most of the Netbooks in the market are running on a 1.66Ghz max power. And this is not acceptable to me.
