Which may have been a significant factor in lowering overall price points. Generic laptops are now in the US$500 - 600 range (depending upon your definitions of "generic" and "laptop").
My (rather limited) understanding of the PC industry is that it does / did try to maintain certain price points in the face of ongoing technical improvements. For a while, the area around US$1000 was maintained for lower end systems. That has since gone by the wayside.
