There is, however, a rather interesting twist on this trend that could actually result in a reversal. It’s becoming clear to some of us researchers that most of the potential PC and Laptop buyers are torn between Tablets and Laptops when it comes to buying a device to match their business or personal lifestyles. The iPad finally made the Tablet an effective form factor and put it on the radar of consumers and business users alike. Apple has sold close to 100 million and most researchers predict that by 2014, the industry will be selling at least 200 million Tablets annually. This is where the bad news comes in: While the industry is still selling at least 300 million Laptops and Desktops a year, its growth has stalled; IDC reports that PC sales for 2012 will grow by only one percent.

If Tablets are used 80 percent of the time for media consumption and Web browsing and just 20 percent for productivity, then perhaps these smaller, 7-inch Tablets that are cheaper and lighter can perform most of the job. In buying a 7-inch Tablet, though, the owner’s intention is incredibly clear: to consume media, browse the Web, and use mobile applications. People will find that a 7-inch Tablet cannot cross over as a productivity device and Compatible Parts the same way a bigger Tablet can today. Then, Laptops become the device that they use for the majority of their productivity the other 20 percent of the time.
