Tablets to outsell PCs by 2015: Gartner
- USA: Saturday, April 06 - 2013 at 01:16
Research firm Gartner has said the global PC market is facing further decline this year, as tablets are expected to outsell desktops and laptops combined by 2015, the Guardian has reported. Google's operating system Android is forecast to be installed on more than a billion devices shipped in 2014, said Gartner analyst, Carolina Milanesi. Microsoft is facing a slide into irrelevance in the next four years, unless it can make progress in the smartphone and tablet markets, because the PC market will continue shrinking, the study said. "Android is going to get to volumes that are three times those of Windows," said Milanesi. Microsoft's income from Windows and Office licences are key to its revenues, as per-PC Windows licences generate about 50% of its profits, and Office licences almost all the rest.
