Besides the corporate sector, laptops have been in demand in the education sector, with schools and colleges encouraging their day-to-day use.
Laptops sales have increased the most in the 18-36 years age group segment which includes students and home users.
Size, weight, battery life and configuration are the most important factors consumers look at when they buy a laptop.
Laptop sales have accounted for a decline in the sales of desktop computers and are expected to take over 40 per cent of the overall PC sales in India by 2010.
