Laptops Outsell Desktops for First Time

In an interesting sign of the times, an AP newswire article by Greg Sandoval (via Yahoo! News) reports that:

In a sure sign that the era of mobile computing has arrived, notebooks have for the first time outsold desktops in the United States in a calendar month, the research firm Current Analysis says.

After tracking sales from a sampling of electronics retailers, Current Analysis says notebook sales accounted for 53 percent of the total personal computer market last month, up from 46 percent during the same period last year.
