Sales of notebook PCs should rise a whopping 25.5 percent this year to 209.5 million units driven by growth in netbooks and a new class of low power notebooks created by Intel Corp., according to a new report from market watcher iSuppli Corp.

“Despite the worldwide recession last year, consumers were enthusiastic about notebook PCs, a trend that will persist in 2010 especially for the market’s two fastest-growing segments,” said Peter Lin, senior computer analyst at iSuppli. The CULV designs should grow 93 percent to 14.5 million units in 2010.

ISuppli defines netbooks as portables costing less than $500 with display smaller than 10.2 inches. Mainstream notebooks still comprise the brunt of the market at 160.5 million units, and they are still expanding at a 21 percent growth rate this year, iSuppli predicted.

By contrast, AsusTek Computer Inc. which launched the netbook craze with its eePC design saw its market share slide from 37 to 21 percent last year, shipping 5.5 million netbooks. Hewlett-Packard, Samsung and Dell took third, fourth and fifth place in netbooks respectively.

PCs, printers, and other expensive tech are considered valuable assets

PCs, printers, and other expensive tech are considered valuable assets

If you do your own taxes, even good tax-prep software (desktop or Web-based) can’t make all the decisions for you (although it should save you from serious math errors). We talked to some accountants about key issues to consider when filling out this year’s forms, as well as when planning for next year.

PCs, printers, and other expensive tech hardware are considered assets that retain value over several years, but the IRS gives you a choice on how to deduct their costs on Toshiba PA3399U-2BRS battery . You can either depreciate them, meaning that you spread the deduction over the number of years the IRS considers to be the useful life of the item (this may not agree with your opinion), or you can write the entire cost off in one fell swoop as a Section 179 deduction .

How you choose to proceed depends a lot on what you expect your income and other expenses to look like going forward. Did you have a big year, and do you want to lower your profits to minimize the tax bite? Go ahead and take those full Section 179 deductions of MacBook Pro 15 inch Battery . But remember, if you write everything off immediately, you will have less to deduct next year and the year after.

It’s tempting, especially for self-employed individuals who work at home, to write off all computer and phone expenses, but the IRS won’t look kindly on you if you do. Dan Morris, a Silicon Valley-based CPA, says that in general, the smaller the business, the more the IRS is likely to question attempts to write off 100 percent of the costs of computers, cell phones, and other hardware that most people use for personal purposes at least part of the time.

For example, if you own just one phone, the IRS won’t believe that you use it only for business–most people do make and/or receive personal calls from time to time.The solution is to demonstrate that you are spending at least some money on a phone for personal use on PowerBook G4 12 inch Battery, . For example, If you have a cell phone and a landline, you might be able to write off all of the cell phone and part of the landline.

Similarly, if you have four computers in your home and also have a spouse and kids, the IRS is not going to believe that all of those computers are exclusively used for business on PowerBook G4 15 inch Battery . Better to designate at least one or two for family use and not try to deduct them as business assets. Morris says to ask yourself if the item meets the IRS’s standards for a legitimate deduction, which are that it should be a usual, necessary, customary, and reasonable expense for your type of business.

A computer consultant, for example, might reasonably write off more high-end computer and smartphone purchases than, say, a machinist. Morris also recommends that small businesses consider creating a technology-purchase policy document. Written guidelines are useful if the IRS is questioning whether, for example, you replace laptops every year for business reasons or as a perk.
