I think you should consider that big names are always running after what is
on fashion, which is the case of laptops now. About the experimental laptop
music community, this should give the opportunity to get more money. The
point is if laptop will influence pop music, or it will stay like today's
nuance, to be substituted tomorrow by something else...
