Huberty research shows that laptop growth is negative for the first time in recent history, 4% in August, compared to the same period last year.This does not mean selling laptops down, this simply means that the year-over-year growth in sales of notebooks is August 2010 is lower than it was in August 2009. in any event, it fits nicely with the quote from best buy CEO Brian Dunne, who says iPad stealing up to half of the sales of notebooks.
This is quite realistic that some people eventually with iPad when you want to buy a new computer. Apple is finally Selling millions of Buying habits are going to change unless the iPad is being purchased in addition to not instead of to other computers.(It isn't). But let's not blow it out of proportion, pointing the finger at Apple.
Consider, for example, the desktop computer sales--especially all-in-one PCs--soaring at months. It's not possible that instead of looking laptop buyers picking up compact desktop PC?
Of course the explosive growth of netbooks in the past year also plays a role in the last month without growth.This time last year growth rate of netbook nearly doubled, laptops after breaking onto the scene in 2008--perfectly timed down economy--there was just no way you can keep up the pace of netbooks.I wouldn't be surprised if slow netbook growth dragging down all selling laptops.
And on smartphones? maybe it's a stretch, but it is quite possible that the ability to carry a small computer in your Pocket reduces the need to upgrade computers.
I'm guessing there's a lot of theory at work here that crazy leapfrogging in tablets, smartphones and netbooks and desktops is having a profound impact on time simply PC market but this is easier--and more fun--blame the iPad, so let's just do it.
