Description
As the disparity between notebook PCs and desktop PCs in terms of price and computing power has narrowed, notebook PC vendors have begun to add a wide range of new functions to their products to increase value added. Leveraging the widespread adoption of Microsoft's Windows MCE (Media Center Edition) and the growing demand for mobile applications, notebook PC vendors have been developing new applications for notebook PCs. Although the introduction of notebook PCs with built-in TV tuners has answered a clear market need for mobile video capability, sales of these notebook PCs have yet to take off, and their visibility within the wider PC market is still low. This report will examine the emergence of the TV tuner-equipped notebook PCs, development of the product technology, and future trends in the market segment.
