Anyone wanna wager that Apple Powerbooks sell more units than
do IBM ThinkPads?
I know the whole PC-Compatible market vastly outweighs the Macs,
but I'm willing to bet that of all *individual* notebook computers on the
market, Apple probably sells the most (Powerbooks).
If true, this would explain the ton of 3rd party add-ons for the
Powerbooks.
Funny--I was just thinking it would be a good business opportunity
for a person to attack the niche of 3rd party notebook products (batteries
& chargers in particular) in the major-notebook market (IBM, Toshiba, etc.).
I'm learning how to write business plans for my senior emphasis
in entrepreneurship. Anyone want to volunteer more info on this feasibility?
