Re: Intel contraints
Not forgetting the other large employers still primarily using desktops, Government, Local Councils and the NHS. For those employers, they usually have to keep an eye on budgets. That means the lower power but more portable laptops get supplied for those where there is a business case. Everyone else gets desktops, either specifically for them or in hotdesking rooms for people who need to move around but only within offices/buildings.
The range of laptops, notebooks, netbooks and tablets is great and prices have been falling such that they are an obvious option for those users with those needs. People who often had to do without up to recent past, taking notes and doing their reports when they got back to the office, will now usually have a decent laptop and no desktop. But for many organisations, the desktop is still the prime workhorse and will remain so for a good few years yet.
