With the economy in turmoil, a lot of people who are looking to buy PCs are increasingly turning to cheap, low-power mini laptops. And that single move is bolstering what otherwise would be a soft PC industry, according to industry analysts at Gartner. With a strong push from the new slew of mini notebooks hitting the market, worldwide PC shipments reached 80.6 million units in the third quarter this year, marking a 15 percent increase from the third quarter of 2007.
