This surprises me. I figure it's only a matter of time before tablets take the lead.
This comes from bgr.com:
"There is absolutely no question at this point that tablets are
responsible for the global decline in PC sales. This was an
inevitability that top market research firms fought at first in an
effort to guard their clients, but the numbers don’t lie: PC sales are falling as tablet sales skyrocket.
There are still signs of life for PCs though, and one is that people
for whom work is a priority still need the software and multitasking
benefits afforded by laptops and desktops. Recent market research from
Deloitte found that 82% of college students own computers and 80% own
smartphones, but just 18% own tablets. “The combination of smartphones
and laptops makes the tablet redundant for students,” Deloitte’s Brent
Schoenbaum told MarketWatch. Dealnews.com’s Louis Ramirez added that “unless you’re shooting for a degree in Angry Birds, tablets are a horrible back-to-school purchase.”
