12-inch tablet will replace traditional PC?

Recently, some "experts" predict that in the next two or three years, tablet PCs can replace traditional laptops, and traditional laptops and desktops will slowly fade out of the market. There is also a voice that believes that the future of notebooks and tablet computers will coexist for a long time, and no one will replace who. Whether the traditional PC will be replaced by a tablet, a wearable device, or some form of product that has not yet been developed.

What is the future? I don't think anyone can answer the answer to this question. Even if Joe's grandfather woke up now, it would be difficult to answer this question. The future of IT digital products will not be in someone's hands, but only in the choices of consumers. The advantages of speaking are far behind. Both Apple and Samsung are now developing 12-inch tablet computers in order to replace the traditional PCs whose sales are declining.

Let's take a look at the Q2 shipment report of the tablet PC that IDC just released: In the second quarter of 2013 (April-June), the global tablet shipments were 45.1 million units, although the year-on-year increase of 59.6%, but the chain decreased by 9.7. %. This shows that the demand for the tablet computer market is also becoming increasingly saturated. Excluding Apple, Samsung shipped 8.1 million units in the second quarter of 2013, down from 8.6 million units in the previous quarter. Asustek’s shipments were 2 million units, which was also down from 2.6 million units in the previous quarter.

In terms of OS, Android shipped 28.2 million units with a market share of 62.6%. iOS followed closely with shipments of 14.6 million units (32.5% of market share). The rankings followed were: 1.8 million Windows systems (4.0% market share), 200,000 Windows RT systems (0.5% market share), and 100,000 BlackBerry systems (0.3% market share).

There are also unsatisfactory tablets. Asustek said on Friday that it will no longer produce Windows RT tablets. This news was disclosed to ASUS CEO Shen Zhenlai at the press conference after the release of the performance, and said that this is not only a company ASUS advice, the industry's unsuccessful Windows RT also feel the same.

Tablet PC hardware updates speed up, so that consumers can not keep up the pace. I would like to ask, when you are faced with a tablet PC that is listed on the market, you have already met your daily needs in terms of performance. Will you still buy a new tablet?

Take the author, for now, the Apple iPad is still the first generation product of the year, and the notebook computer is also a product of 2 years ago. These digital products can still meet the author's work and entertainment needs, but also need to spend money to buy new products? After all, tablet PCs are starting to be the same as laptops, and market saturation is increasingly evident.

Let’s talk about 12-inch tablets. At the beginning of the launch of the Tablet PC, it attracted the attention of consumers with its excellent portability and entertainment. Today, 7-inch tablets are the size of the mainstream. After increasing the size, the tablet will lose its inherent portability, so that consumers will recognize it? Although 12-inch tablet PCs still have stronger portability than traditional PCs, traditional PCs give consumers 30 years of usage habits. The tablet PC will not be the slightest one without the keyboard and mouse. The odds!

Although we have seen the concept map of the 12-inch iPad by the organization, Samsung plans to release the 12.2-inch tablet model SM-P900, but after all, there are still many 11-inch, 13-inch notebook products. The demand for the 9-10 inch flat panel market has tended to be weak. It is necessary to have a larger size tablet PC in the notebook market.
