The PC industry has just received a first of the many expected shocks. According to a report by IDC, PC shipments dipped 13.9% in the first quarter this year. That is a massive drop against the much anticipated plunge of just a little over 7% by IDC itself. Personal computers are finally experiencing a slowdown when it comes to sales.
Tablet shipments are expected to cross PC shipments this year. With these results, it seems it might happen sooner than that. Consumers are slowly adopting tablets which are more easier to use, less complicated and at times much more affordable too.
Tablets have been called the future of personal computers and the growing number of tablets available in the market now is a clear indication of shifting consumer dynamics.
2013 will certainly be a year of the tablets.
