Unless it is the beginning of a disruption... they do badly at the start, and improve. Such as lighter, thinner, lower-wattage screens. I note that although laptops could have gotten lighter, there have been a tendency to load them up with DVD players and so on. It's as if there is a maximum tolerable weight for laptops, of 2-3 kg, and people will load on features up to that point. Then there was a reaction against this, of netbooks - lighter, smaller, lower-wattage - but this trend seems to have slowed, and of course, laptop sales still dominate netbook sales. Why? Because people in fact want to do desktop things on a laptop. If they need dual screen on their desktop, they'll need it on their laptop. (personally, I much prefer the netbook approach)
