A new report from MetaFacts, Inc., suggests that most mobile PCs (notebooks, laptops, tablet PCs, etc.) although portable, are used in only two locations, and are used very differently than desktop PCs.
The 2006 Mobile PC Profile Report from MetaFacts shows that most employer-owned mobile PCs stay in the workplace and most home-owned mobile PCs spend more time outside the home than work mobile PCs do outside the workplace.
"[S]omeone you see using a notebook in public is probably using their home, not work, PC," says Dan Ness, Principal Analyst at MetaFacts.
The report also shows that mobile PCs also have some surprisingly different uses than desktops. They are three times more likely to be used for online betting, and two times more more likely to be used creating presentations, write blogs, watch DVDs or access social networking sites.
The portable computers are also used more by the 18-34 group than among the 55+ group.
