Tony makes the point that the data on sales volume is skewed by low-end, small tablets.<\/p>\n

For $200, that same consumer can get a tablet with a sharper display and higher pixel density. The processor and RAM may seem similar on paper, but the ARM architecture, and a mobile OS like Android or iOS will deliver blazing performance instead of lagging and frustration. The $200 tablet is lighter, thinner, and can run all day on a single charge.<\/p>\n

Granted, it\u2019s not entirely an apples-to-apples comparison. The netbook probably has a larger storage capacity, and it\u2019s capable of running standard Windows software. But, the tablet can do email, instant messaging, Web, social networking, and play games\u2014which sums up about 90-plus percent of what most people need to do from a mobile device.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to see why (cheap) tablets will beat netbooks<\/em>.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is some cannibalization of laptop sales. The simple reality is that many of the things people need to do can be done just as well or better from a tablet<\/strong>. And, even if we\u2019re talking about the 9 and 10 inch tablets that average in the $500 and $600 range, it\u2019s a more versatile, less expensive alternative to $1,000-plus notebooks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

tablets in general may chip away at overall notebook sales, but businesses<\/strong> still need powerful, capable laptops.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tony makes the point that a tablet is just a different style of PC, and so old-style PCs and new-style tablets will eventually merge and we’ll just call them all “the PC market.”<\/p>\n
