Corporate notebook market still affected by "price and service" Latest analysis confirms it as the achilles heel and the paramount reason to switch . Brand loyalty is suspect . CPQ is declining , with IBM and Dell in demand : " A substantial amount of customer unhappiness predictably has to do with service and price," said Julie Perron, TBR's manager of primary research. TBR's study is before IBM's introduction of its "light & thin" ThinkPad line which AAPL's new "light & thin" PowerBooks will be going up against . Interesting when considering IBM may manufacture some of these new AAPL models (now makes AAPL's PB 2400 in Japan) plus IBM gains revenue from the PowerPC CPU . Regards, Jim K. Source: news.com
