Laptop computer sales account for over 50.9 percent of all PC sales For the first time in American history, notebooks sold better than desktops in the U.S. Retail sector in 2005. Indeed, according to a CNET. Com story, laptop computer sales accounted for 50.9 percent of all PC sales, while those big clunky desktops made up only 49.1 percent of sales.In comparison, looking only back to 2004, desktops then made up 57 percent of all sales.

Do the math, folks-that's nearly an 8 point drop in one year. But the latest figures osted on Thu, Nov.16, 2006show notebook computer sales up 24 percent compared with a year ago. Analysts who get paid well to contemplate such trends have said that laptops may be getting the upper hand because they're getting cheaper.

Nowadays, quality notebooks can run as low as $1,000, bargain-basement models as little as $499.It also helps that wireless Internet connections have spread across the United States as fast as a forwarded e-mail joke. Since 2003, Wi-Fi has taken off both in technology, hot-spot locations, and demand from everyday users. Most notebooks now come with mobile Internet capabilities, and some even now feature cellular integration.

A large reason for this Wi-Fi craze is Intel, the microprocessor maker who unveiled its Centrino mobile chip in 2003. Now with its new dual-core chip system, Napa, appearing in the latest laptops, Intel has carried the mobile banner even further-and looks to take that banner all the way to the bank as more and more laptops are sold. Advanced Micro Devices, Intel's rival, is set to also reap the rewards of the laptop sales surge, and already saw better sales in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Computer manufacturers like Toshiba, who specialize in laptops, are also seeing black thanks to consumer's mobile tastes. We should control our excitement for laptops a little bit, though, because these latest figures only represent "retail" sales. No sales to businesses or direct-from-manufacturer sales (such as from Dell) are included.

But never fear-laptops are surging overall in sales too. Analysts are predicting that notebooks will lap desktop sales, en toto, by 2007, a year ahead of schedule according to their past predictions. Sources: http://www.laptopical.com/laptop-computer-sales.html .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
