| Mummelmann said: I dunno if that would be a great idea, not a tablet specifically. I just read a report that in Norway, tablet sales were down a whooping 35% last year while the sales of laptops were up by a similar percentage. The tablet was always a product on kinda shaky grounds, sitting near the territory of being utterly useless between a good laptop and a smartphone and I believe I always said as much |
That's not exactly the case. What drove down tablet sales was the phablet sector, that provided a middle-ground for some people that didn't liked carrying two devices but also didn't cared if the smartphone was huge. Ultrabooks also covered some ground.
It's not like they are going anywhere, it's just like some products were capable of providing a better experience in some cases. Despite that, I've read a report saying that tablet sales in Brazil are on a rise while laptops went down. Overall, we can expect the tablet market to keep growing worldwide.
