NEW YORK (TheStreet) – Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) Tuesday night reported a 12% decline in the “consumer” portion of its personal systems group. That’s mostly laptops. With this news fresh in mind, I decided to visit 15 of the cafes located closest to the HP headquarters, mostly within a 2-mile radius, to see what the people closest to HP were using in terms of laptops.The survey took me about 90 minutes to conduct, and is, of course, of limited statistical significance. But still, out of the 100 laptops and tablets observed in 15 of the cafes closest to the HP headquarters:

  • Apple MacBook: 45
  • Lenovo: 14
  • Dell: 14
  • Apple iPad: 9
  • Sony 6
  • HP 4
  • Toshiba 3
  • Acer 2
  • Asus 2
  • Samsung 1
