14 DAY TRIAL // It was clear that tablets were eating more and more of the market share of desktop and notebook PCs, but there are some countries where they have basically taken over.
Case in point, IDC looked at what happened in the United kingdom between January and March and discovered that 2.8 million tablets were shipped, which was more than the 2.3 million PC units.
And by PC units I mean not just desktops, but also notebooks and, to top it all off, Apple Macs too.
In other words, the 188% on-year rise in tablet sales placed slates on a stronger footing than desktops, laptops and Macs put together.
I can only imagine what will happen if similar conditions are found everywhere else. It might not happen immediately, but time passes on.
