New Reform: The Market Outlook of Tablet PC

As one of the Ultra portable PC pioneers, iPad exceptions listed for   2010 are not calm. Only in May 2010, iPad sales reached 100 million   units, less than 5 months later, in October 2010, Apple updated showed  a  profit, iPad profit grew 70% year on year, quarterly sales topped 20   billion U.S. dollars. There are indications that as the representative   of the iPad tablet PCs, more and more attention to IT companies, iPad   tablet in the country detonated an computer boom. Currently, the Tablet   PC market, more and more rich, does that mean, tablet PCs will replace   the traditional notebook into the mainstream?
1. 2nd Generation Tablet PC: thinner, more business oriented
Tablet  PC concept was originally proposed by Microsoft, as early as  2002,  Microsoft made smug Tablet PC concept, but because of technical   barriers, has not developed Tablet PC,   Microsoft said: Tablet PC no need flip, no keyboard, small enough to   put Ms. handbags, but full-featured PC. Relative to the laptop, except   has all of its functions, also supports handwriting input or voice   input, mobility and portability are better. At the time, Tablet PC is   the representative of next generation mobile business PC, Microsoft  also  predicted: 5 years later, the Tablet PC will become the mainstream  of  portable personal computers, although not realized, however,  introduced  by Apple iPad, realize the Microsoft dream in 2010.

Even thught Microsoft did not promote the tablet computer success, , many PC manufacturers have introduced a keyboard integrated   with the host variable type tablet PCs, we can think that the first   generation of Tablet PC. That is the host through a ingenious structure   and tight junction digital LCD screen, LCD screen can be folded  together  with the host as a "flat panel computer" to use, but will set  off when  the LCD screen can be used as a digital ink and handwriting  with input /  control functions notebook, and it can be up and down  folding screen,  180 ° rotation and touch capabilities. To a certain  extent, a first  generation of Tablet PC is actually a notebook, "can be  rotated to the  touch" version, but still not enough in terms of  mobility and  portability.

With the increased demand for portable users, the second  generation of  Tablet PC is a "pure" Tablet PC, that is, the host  computer and  digital integrated LCD screen, the handwriting input as its  main input,  they are more stressed with the move, of course, at any  time through  USB port, Bluetooth, WIFI or 3G modules extend more  applications, which  iPad is a typical product, at present, HP,  ViewSonic, Lenovo, Fujitsu,  Archos, HW, Taiwan Power Company and other  manufacturers have  introduced the second generation Tablet PC. In  portability, the second  generation of tablet PCs can create text,  graphics and pictures at any  time, but also easy access to the Internet,  send and receive email,  play Web games or watch videos, ideal for  mobile business use.
2. The Tablet PC can do, Can not do?
As   a representative of the next generation of mobile business PC, Tablet   PC has brought the emergence of a new business trend, after all, many   business people in business or travel, does not want to wear a heavy   backpack, do not want to use the relatively cumbersome notebook but  need  a more easily portable, more convenient to used "hands of the   computer". The Tablet PC just take into account the portability, the   whole network, and its capacity is larger than handheld computers, and   have the notebook's basic functions, you can browse the web, instant   messaging , edit documents, download, watch online video.

Nevertheless,  the Tablet PC in the application there are still many  limitations,  such as the screen is too small to display on the screen  more than the  software window, CPU performance not good enough, if the  number of  high-load programs open simultaneously, the speed will be very  slow,  even crash. In addition, the Tablet PC is usually equipped with Android or Windows smart system, though has   some entertainment, but the lack of office applications, coupled with   the limited storage capacity and can not bring a real office and   entertainment experiences.
From a market perspective, tablet PC  seems to fill the traditional  mobile PC "blank", those that required  excellent portability and ease of  use, and only the basic needs of the  particular mobile commerce  business people, Tablet PC is the best  choice. But this does not mean  that it can immediately replace the  traditional notebook computer, for  example, whether it is the daily  business office, or graphic design,  playing games, watching  high-definition movies, require high performance  characteristics of the  computer and the screen display area is large  enough,  tablet PC  application does not step aside from these obvious.  At the same time,  as can be management, security technology, cooling  effect, this is the  soft underbelly of tablet PCs, compared with  ordinary PC, tablet PCs in  performance, scalability, storage capacity,  compatible resistance,  input efficiency, etc. is not good enough.
3. The market trends: tablet PCs have broad prospects
iPad's  success, so that Tablet PC in 2010 to become a hot topic in IT   industry, although not in the traditional sense iPad tablet PCs, the   Tablet PC it is to rethink the concept has changed the use of Tablet PC   models, which have a epoch-making significance, but also the entire PC   market structure will have far-reaching impact, according to analysts   said that despite the high penetration of notebooks, but the portable  PC  market growth will remain the main, global PC shipments in 2010 than  in  2009 increase of 20%, Apple iPad tablet laptop is to promote such an important reason for this growth, analysts   predicted that Apple iPad 2010 sales will reach 600 million units, it   will also promote the Tablet PC sales in 2010 grew to 10.5 million   units, while 2011, Tablet PC shipments worldwide will reach 35 million   units, while shipments in 2012 will account for 70% of the global   computer. Tablet PC huge market space, no doubt attract a large number   of IT companies have joined.

Although  the tablet PC market growth will not change the existing  pattern, but  it has been the traditional PC shipments had an impact,  squeezing or  even replace the laptop computer sales trends become more  apparent.
4. Tablet PC replace the traditional PC ?
As  a mobile Internet devices, Tablet PC and MID, smart phone, MP4 and   other portable devices with Internet access as only as a supplement to   the traditional PC. Tablet PC, after all, not to meet everyone's basic   business needs, and can not replace the traditional notebook or PC,   because it is two entirely different products, can be said that in the   next few years, the traditional PC and the Tablet PC can independently   coexist, while developing, but more people in the industry believe that   today's boom Tablet PC is because consumers have a strong curiosity  and  the use of demand, but the design of these products is still  inadequate,  and only to the user's real needs to improve, tablet laptop computers can really gain a firm foothold in the market.
Positioning Tablet PC consumer market, there is growing evidence that   the Tablet PC will not replace the corporate notebook market, and smart   phones. PC is undergoing rapid transformation, cell phones and tablet   PCs will replace the traditional desktop and notebook computer. Apple   said, iPad also shows that market demand for the needs of users of   tablet PCs; chip designer ARM said that despite the iPad was a success,   but only from the current situation can not determine the Tablet PC  can  become a big market, now made a bold too early to forecast; lenovo  said,  because users still prefer to use a physical keyboard, on the  very  negative feedback from Tablet PC, Lenovo will continue to adhere  to  style rotating screen notebook, not that kind of tablet  production   iPad.
Dell, Steven said: Tablet PC is a supplement to the personal  computer,  but not all . Tablet PC , a subsidiary product as always, or  a  complementary type of equipment, while the real protagonist is still  the  notebooks, tablet PCs will never replace laptops; Patriots  spokesman  said the future of Tablet PC PC or mobile phone sales will  exceed 2011,  the tablet PC market will reach tens of millions at the  same time that  the mobile phone, PC and Tablet PC can not replace each  other, but the  Tablet PC as a personal mobile terminal will have more  users.
