    PC industry prepares for weaker gain
    December
    2005 – New York (NY): PC sales this year are heading for their weakest
    gain since 2001 and some industry chiefs fear next year could be even
    worse, reports The Wall Street Journal Online.
    A six per cent
    increase in sales of home PC units, down from a 10 per cent gain last
    year, reflects increasing competition from flat panel televisions –
    with expected price cuts next year to hit the industry further, the
    website says.
    It adds that a 41 per cent increase in notebook sales during the Thanksgiving weekend could prove to be this year’s saviour.
