End of PC Era - Will Tablet Replace PC?

For nearly three decades, personal computers as technological development has been the driving force to change our lives. From Microsoft to Dell to the HP, PC gathered a great deal of wealth. However, the development of mobile technology in recent years has subverted the PC technology, while also changed our definition of the PC.

Silicon Valley's oldest PC company HP yesterday announced the sale of all its PC business. If HP find buyers of its PC division, it will further IBM 2004-year lead. That was when IBM's PC business has been unprofitable. (Related: Control PC with iPad)

HP is clearly not the only large enterprises who are standing on the opposite side of the PC. Earlier this week, Dell announced revenue, we found that PC business income has been greatly diminished. In fact, the PC industry the market of this yearhas been reduced, which has enabled manufacturers to make ends meet.

Those companies who are looking for innovative will not waste time on PC. Yes, the laptop will be equipped with better CPU, the whole will gradually thinning, but in fact HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo and more companies are making the PC which are looking similar. Innovation in the industry has no longer exist.

Meanwhile, the Tablet PC as a substitute for traditional PC continued popularity. We do not expect the Tablet PC can be quickly replaced by PC. The next few years, there will still be billions of PC sold around the world. But obviously our habit has changed by the Tablet with a large touch screen that can work anywhere.

In addition to real change in the future of PC wheel of history, there is a constantly innovative company: Apple. More than a year ago, Steve Jobs predicted that the decline of the PC. More than 10 months later, we see iPad has become a blockbuster market. Growth in the notebook market space has been replaced by iPad. At the same time, most software related to iPad have appeared, such as iPad Transfer, iPad to Mac Transfer.

PC-profit is still low, the major manufacturers are difficult to adhere to. We do not want to believe that the PC era has ended. As expressed in a different way: it is in a new form of continued existence.
