"One bright spot for now is the U.S. home mobile PC market, which continues to show robust growth," said Martin Reynolds, vice president and research fellow for Gartner. "There appears to be a notable difference in the buying habits of desktops and notebooks in terms of channel. Users purchasing patterns suggest a preference to buy desktops through the direct channel, but notebooks through retail. This seems related to a customer's wish to 'touch and feel' notebook products before buying, as well as the current aggressive pricing available through retail. This could create some interesting challenges for the direct vendors."
