Laptops take up less. Having worked retail in the past, i've seen people who wanted a computer for a small desk and ended up with a 17" laptop over a micro-ATX desktop PC. When people look at a laptop for $700 versus a computer bundle for the same price and see the specs aren't that different (never mind the slower components and less and costlier upgrades), they start to see the laptop as the desktop that's portable. The majority of users probably don't even upgrade much aside from adding RAM or another hard drive, both of which a laptop can handle.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[aoi tsuki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2008 3:01AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
