Fred - Re: "Most employees who do any significant traveling are choosing to get high end notebooks and docking stations instead of desktops. "

I just got back from a 2 week vacation to the East Coast and the MidWest.

In all the airport lounges and on the airplanes, high end LapTops were everywhere to be seen. Both men and women used them in abundance.

IBM ThinkPads and Dell notebooks seemed to be the dominant brands.

Every Hotel I stayed in had a "DATA" port on their phones, and the one in Boston had a DUAL line phone setup, so being "on-line" didn't mean you had to be out of touch from telephone communications.

I wish you a safe and happy trip to the East, and lots of success.

Paul

Fred,

this article states "In fact, AMD has roughly two-thirds market share in the portable computer market"

fnews.yahoo.com

Where is the Intel "virtual monopoly" ?
Or does this "Eric Singer" have his facts in error?
Or a misunderstanding on my part of laptops/notebooks?

Or does AMD continue to hold 2/3 market share in laptops?

I am interested in seeing the Intel numbers of their dominance.
