Today’s
New York Times announced that the huge sale of tablets has formed tremendous
pressure on PC Market. With the growth of young generation, this trend will
become more and more apparent. As for me, I absolutely agree that tablet sales
will gradually exceed the PC in future, especially Apple’s iPad, although some analysts
in this field are not in agreement on this view. More real data will be provided
to improve this view.
Recent years, Apple gradually upgrades
more functions in iPad devices with Retina Display screen applied, faster
processor and high-speed network connections. More users choose to use iPad to
surf the Internet, download movies from YouTube for
watching, deal with the daily work. One of the most important businesses in Apple:
iPad has contributed $9.15 billion income since the last quarter of 2011. There
are 15 million units of iPad 2 have been sold.
Amazon launched its own tablet “Kindle
Fire” (official price: $199) as a challenge to Apple’s iPad 2. Although Amazon has
not disclosed their official sales, some analysts estimate that 400 million
units of Kindle Fire have been sold in the last quarter of 2011, which created
so surprising sales. More hardware vendors also show their tablets based on
Windows 8 at the end of last year, which is expected to promote the development
of the Tablet market.
The sales ratio between tablet and
PC is about 6 to 1 in
2011. Nook tablets of Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble have enhanced the
Tablet sales during Christmas vocation. Even the income of Apple’s iPad is nearly
40% higher than Mac during this period.
In fact, not too many people will give
up using a PC computer, the PC market will never disappear, but they will only
be used as additional devices for tablets.Boundary between the tablets and
PC market is gradually blurred; we will see more innovative designs to
challenge our vision.
