You can't just assume another 1.1m like that. I doubt tablets other than the Surface sold at all. The major OEMs were extremely not on board with making or promoting them due to the $100 undercutting.
Do you think Surface will have legs? There is no hype or awareness any more compared to Q4. There is more availability, but it would have to overtake at least one of the top four to be considered improved, and I see no compelling reason that it should.
