The issue is dollar profit rather than percentage. It take 2 PC sold to equal the dollar profit. The PC penetration is US is still low at 35%. thus while some are buying two or more the vast majority 65% are not.

I would bet that the US household penetration is lower. HTe model maybe either NPC or hardware manufacturers may have to figure the razor and razor blade strategy like software.
