Laptop Vs. Desktop

The momentum in the indian notebook market is finally in sync with the global trend, where for the first time in 2005 notebook sales surpassed desktop sales.

Laptop Vs. Desktop ?

These days notebooks are competing with desktops with convenience & productivity scoring high, notebook sales having found their way into homes. Industry sources say that desktops which were the symbol of corporate vanity till the other day are slowly becoming passe with notebooks now becoming mainstream.
Once of the biggest factors pushing sales for notebooks is the affordability factor due to reduction in prices. India's personal computer market is undergoing a major transition as premium notebook computers are being brought to the mainstream, at almost half the prices prevalent a year ago.

On-th-Go Computing

Another key driver has been the growth of newer professions that not only require different working styles but also mobile devices for anytime-anywhere computing. For instance many IT-enabled workers or back office workers (like medical transcription workers) need not work out of an old fashioned office anymore. Similarly many financial & marketing sector professionals need to be on the move always.

The government too, now allows duty free import of notebooks as personal baggage that has helped in increasing the notebook penetration with people becoming more aware of these devices. The government's focus on improving the IT infrastructure that has brought n technologies like wider wireless network (WAN WiFi), which allows linking up of mobile devices to the internet at any place, has propelled its sales as well. Also the amalgamation of next generation technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with mobile computing has brought also more utility to notebooks.
