That's not so surprising. Notebooks as a whole are gaining a lot of ground and have been since LCDs became standard as monitors and Intel moved away from the Pentium architecture for their Core processors which bring mobile processing power not into parity, but close enough that people prefer the portability. Plus, how much value does an iMac give you? I'm not saying it's a bad machine, just that the big advantage over my MacBook Pro is the screen. Yeah, it's a little cheaper and a little more powerful, but (apparently) that's not enough for people to sacrifice the mobility of a notebook. Even beyond that, I think it's safe to say that people are starting to demand mobility over power. Netbooks look like the next big thing, web browsing is often one of the most taxing things many people do on their computers, etc. The argument for desktops is diminishing - it's easy to get more than enough power for 95% of users in a notebook form. And Apple buyers tend to be a little avant-garde (or at least we like to think so).
