Holiday sales came in as predicted. Desktop sales were weak, but notebooks were strong. And outside of those categories, products--such as multifunction printer/scanner/copiers--that performed well going into the holiday season continued to do well," Stephen Baker, an analyst with NPDTechworld, said Thursday.
