Windows laptop sales up 39% in 2012 first half

PanARMENIAN.Net - Market research firm the NPD Group reported a 39 percent jump in sales of premium Windows laptops ($900 and up) during the first five months of this year, compared with the same period in 2011, according to engadget.com.

Despite a 3 percent drop in sales of $700-plus Windows notebooks, the Ultrabook share of this bracket increased steadily to nearly 11 percent.

The analysts predict sales of these lower-end models will pick up as back-to-school purchases sooth the post-summer blues, with a general boost to the whole Ultrabook market expected when Windows 8 arrives.
