Convertibles: The new laptop bling?
By
A laptop that has a screen that can flip around 180 degrees and be used as a Tablet PC? Not only is it possible, it’s an inevitability, and will become more commonly known by 2008. Sales of these “convertible” laptops are projected to skyrocket 708%, from 1.2 million units this year to around 9.7 million by 2008.
With manufacturing prices dropping and Microsoft touting tablet PCs, shipments of the products are expected to hit 9.7 million units by 2008. That’s up 708 percent from the 1.2 million units expected to ship this year, according to a forecast by market researchers at IDC. Convertible notebooks are expected to make up the majority of those shipments, IDC said.
