Half Of All PCs Shipped in 2014 Will Be Tablets; Cost-Friendly Androids 65% Of Them, Apple 30% And Most Profitable

ipad-air-backThe growth of tablet sales has been outstripping that of more traditional desktop and laptop personal computers for a while, and now it looks like we are finally approaching the tablet/PC tipping point, where the cheaper, more portable tablet is becoming the de facto PC: 2014 will be the year that tablets account for 50% of all "PCs" shipped globally, according to researchers at Canalys. Leading the charge will be tablets built on Android -- which collectively will account for 65% of all tablets shipped (185 million units) with Samsung at the helm. Apple, with its growing line of iPad devices, will remain the single-biggest tablet brand, taking 30% of the market -- and, significantly, the most profitable.
