Analysts blame the iPad in sales of PCs and laptops the reduction in the US

The study of PC sales results, notebooks and tablet PCs, analysts from a commercial bank Morgan Stanley concluded that consumers now prefer tablets. Since its appearance on the shelves iPad the number of sales of laptops and computers in the US market It decreased by 25%.

Decrease in sales of PCs and laptops only confirm the results of earlier research Morgan Stanley. Then, earlier this year surveyed consumers in 44% of cases reported that they had seen in the iPad replace a laptop. Another 41% of people surveyed said the refusal of the next iPod touch models in favor of Apple's tablet. Even 27% of respondents said they prefer to buy iPad purchase PCs.

As a result, at Morgan Stanley adjusted several predictions about future sales. Analyst Katy Huberty (Katy Huberty) has been suggested as to what PC sales this year will increase compared to last year by 13% instead of the expected 15%. In 2011, the same year that an increase of only 8% (earlier it was about 13%). Also in question and that in 2011 will be sold 50 million tablets, not 37 million, as previously predicted.

It is expected that the "damage" of computers and laptops will cause the market and other manufacturers besides Apple. They will present their model of "pills" (this Dell Streak, and Samsung Galaxy Tab, and many other). Also, the apple company plans to expand its market and start selling iPad in China and five Latin American countries as recently as the end of September.

I can not help but quote a comment one of our readers - Denis Hazova:

I worth 4.2 beta, and I say that from aypada get a full laptop. Let's say that the iPhone can do without multi-tasking, then it is a severe need iPads.
Multitasking is very fast, on iPhone4 level. Of course you have to pay for it - the life of the battery has dropped dramatically.

And earlier this year YCombinator venture capital fund that invests in promising, but it is very risky projects, so urged developers create your app for iPad:

Many people believe that the most important thing in the iPad - a form factor: a real tablet computer. We think that Apple's ambitions seriously. We think that "iPads" destined to become a killer Windows. More precisely, he was just able to replace a Windows. In our opinion, Apple anticipates a future where iPad is used for the same purposes as the computers are now (Plus new features will appear).

Programmers probably never want a computer that can not control, but ordinary people just want an inexpensive device that works. And that is for them, and will look like the iPad. Many users will never accept a conscious decision to change platform. They will receive iPad, and then find that use Windows-machines less and less. And when the PC fails, users will not replace it.
