I believe that is only in passing. I honestly think the majority of laptop manufacturers are not visionaries when it comes to product specs. Only Apple and a couple of niche ones truly seem to know what they are doing. The rest will have a delay to see the change in trends (but they do eventually see it).

I think consumer masses moving away from the laptop market has a dire implications for this market (far less competition, expect premium prices). But on the plus side it should shift the market towards productivity, which is a big plus for some of us.
