It’s also no secret that the average consumer wants everything in the palm of their hands, ready to go wherever they need to go, and able to fit in the smallest of spaces while still being able to perform like their desktop counterparts. For this reason we can expect to see a decrease in desktop sales while notebook and mobile computing products are taken off the shelves more quickly.
