Notebooks, iPad-like tablets to be 70 percent of PCs by 2012
Portable computers like notebooks and tablets should make up 70 percent
of computers in just two years. The category was already more than 55
percent of the market last year but should keep growing through 2012
based on ultraportables and tablets like the iPad.
Apple's device, along with other tablets and conventional tablet PCs, should help push the number of tablets on the market to 10.5 million just this year. Desktops will gradually become a minority and are only likely to see any growth in the developing world, Gartner said. Cost is now increasingly the main driver behind desktops, not performance, and even notebooks or Intel-based processors aren't completely necessary depending on the task.
