I just bought one, but I've been waiting for the Acer Aspirwe 6 cell to come out. Plus, Dell just released the new laptop which people have been waiting for for what, 6 months? It got tons of techie press coverage. I think that while it is an interesting trend, the causation implied by the title is misleading. The crisis has nothing to do with why I bought my laptop, nor why three of my friends bought theirs. It's just the timing of it - Dell and Acer both came out with laptops people were waiting for just as the economy was slowing.
