I think those databases you chose will be great for the topic you are writing about. I think your search ‘pcs AND sales AND future” will be an interesting search in itself. Pc’s are always changing and being reinvented to the next best thing. I’m always curious how customers like the new next best thing though because a lot of times they make it a little more complex each and every time and if someone isn’t really tech savvy enough, they would definitely struggle with it.
