SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- Laptops have been around since the early 1980s, but they are finally surpassing the sale of desktop PCs in America.
In fact, 16 of the 20 best-selling computers on Amazon.com this holiday season were laptops, according to the Los Angeles Times.
U.S. corporations in 2008 are expected to make laptops the majority of their computer purchases.
By 2011, research firm IDC expects portable computers to constitute 66 percent of all corporate PCs sold, up from 40 percent in 2006, and 71 percent of all consumer PCs sold, up from 44 percent.
