"The year 2007 saw an increase in the uptake of notebooks, especially within
the SMB segment. Users in this segment are heavily burdened by rising costs,
however, and so the availability and affordability of wireless technology have
made notebooks more appealing - the ideal alternative to desktops, in fact,
since they enable users to increase productivity by working from home." - Joyce
Nyamu, Research Analyst, IDC East Africa
