Worldwide Notebook PC Market Development, 2009 and Beyond

Abstract

The gap between desktop PC and notebook PC in terms of functionality, computing capability, and pricing has gradually narrowed in recent years. The desktop replacement effect has gained in momentum due to low price initiatives launched by major branded vendors and the convenience brought about by the wireless feature and slim form factor of notebook PCs. The growth of global notebook PC shipments was further boosted by the increasing share of consumer models catering to the demand for mobility and personal customization. Nevertheless, as the overall notebook PC market has entered the maturity stage, various regional markets saw disparate shipment development in 2008. This report examines worldwide notebook PC market trends in 2008, and analyzes market development in 2009 and beyond.
