Tablet shipments to outpace laptops in 2013, NPD says

2013-05-06 22:56:46| InfoWorld: Top News

New tablet shipments will outnumber laptops for the first time in 2013, as touch display capabilities drive buying patterns rather than new operating systems like Windows 8 and Windows RT, research firm NPD DisplaySearch reported on Monday. NPD projects that tablet shipments will jump to 256.5 million globally in 2013, then more than double to 579.4 million by 2017. Tablet shipments will grow by 67 percent in 2013 over 2012's level of about 159 million.
