It is expected that more than 240-million tablet PCs will be shipped during 2013, effortlessly surpassing the 207-million notebook PCs projected to ship during the year.
This is according to Christopher Riley, MD of The Notebook Company.
“We are also witnessing this trend at The Notebook Company, and have been since the introduction of the first Apple iPad.”
He confirms that the company is currently selling more tablets than laptops – a trend it expects to carry on “into the future”.
According to market research firm NPD Group DisplaySearch, tablet shipments are projected to grow 64% in 2013 compared to 2012.
“Projections are also being made that, by 2017, nearly three tablets will be sold to every one laptop,” Riley adds.
But Riley says that while sales of laptops might be under pressure, the company is hoping to increase its business as a “lot of clients will be looking to make a switch to laptops rather than upgrading or buying new desktops”.
