A confluence of recent events has gotten me thinking about laptops. First, IDC and Gartner released PC market surveys that suggest a significant slowing in the declines plaguing PC sales for the past few years. Then last week, due to “stronger than expected demand for business PCs,” Intel said it was raising Q2 and full-year revenue and gross margin expectations. It’s too early to tell if these developments signal longer-term PC sales stability or even an upward trend, but it’s still good news for under-the-gun PC makers.
