Tencent Digital (Leon) About three years ago, two-in-one computers were launched into the market and became rare innovative products in the PC field. Intel and Microsoft are their main promoters, mainly with Windows 8, but because Windows 8 itself is not a particularly good operating system, resulting in two-in-one computer sales have been less than ideal, so far only accounted for the PC market10 %-15% market share.
This year, the attitude of the industry for two-in-one computers has changed. Consumers are also becoming increasingly interested. A large number of analysts believe that the two-in-one computer is a dark horse as the PC market continues to shrink. The introduction of Windows 10 and its rapid dominance of the market have also helped the two-in-one computer to go mainstream at the system level.
Interestingly, once thought that a combo computer is a tasteless apple (Cook has publicly stated that combo computers are a combination of toasters and refrigerators), the iPad Pro is also introduced, supporting an external keyboard and stylus, although running iOS System, but in terms of product form, it is also a two-in-one computer. This year, the latest iPad Pro advertising defines it as a "new type of PC," which is in fact a recognition of the Microsoft and Intel concepts.
However, it seems ironic that the iPad Pro has come from the world and has not been enthusiastically sought after by consumers. However, according to market data, Windows 2-in-1 PCs, led by Surface Pro, are out of the bottom and achieve a very good profit. Microsoft has also continued to expand its product line and launch Surface Book. It is expected that the Surface-one will be launched next year. The one-on-one computer has truly achieved its initial purpose and became the key to the PC's revival.
