Windows 8 hard to save the city? iPad continues to erode the PC market

Windows 8, which has been highly hoped by Microsoft, has also caused many manufacturers and consumers to look forward to it. Since its publication, it has attracted much attention. But it seems that some people think that after the release of Windows 8, the effect may not be so good.

For example, in the eyes of the analysts of Barclays States, even after the listing of Windows 8, the global PC market share will not rebound, but it still maintains the downward trend.

In July of this year, according to IDC data, PC sales in the United States dropped by 10.6%. In Gartner's data, this figure was 5.7%. However, if the data released by another research company, Canalys, prevails, PC sales in the second quarter of this year increased by 11.7%. The company's data includes the Apple iPad, and the main source of growth is also the iPad.

The ease of use of the iPad has now succeeded in replacing many traditional PCs. Perhaps in the future, half of the traditional PC market will also be invaded by the iPad.
