"Hewlett-Packard is clearing its shelves of old Media Center PCs ahead of the launch of a new generation of the systems, one of which turned up at a store owned by Circuit City earlier this month. Retail and distribution sources have indicated that HP's m1270n and m1280n Media Center PCs are disappearing from store shelves and warehouses, and some retail outlets have discontinued those particular systems. But HP has no plans to exit what is one of the most promising categories of desktop PCs, having distributed the new m7060n Media Center PC to some retail partners ahead of its official launch, says Toni DuBoise, an analyst with Current Analysis, in La Jolla, California."
There's definitely an interesting divergence that this article talks about - many consumers are replacing ageing PCs with notebooks, and if they buy a PC, it's one that's designed to connect to a TV. At the moment, that's my exact scenario - I have two laptops that I work on, and my only "real" PC is running MCE and hooked up to an LCD TV.
