一家技術(shù)研究機構(gòu)指出,全球范圍內(nèi)個人電腦銷量持續(xù)下降,而平板電腦正在取代個人電腦成為許多人的主要電腦裝置。2013年第二季度的全球個人電腦出貨量與上一年同比下降11%。全球消費者正轉(zhuǎn)而購買價格較為便宜的平板電腦。在蘋果公司 2010 年推出 iPad之后,平板電腦開始受到人們的喜愛。此后,各制造商紛紛推出價格更低的平板電腦,激烈的競爭使其價格一路下跌。
A technology research group says worldwide sales of personal computers continue to decline as tablets are replacing PCs as many people’s primary computer devices. Worldwide PC shipments dropped 11% in the second quarter of 2013 from the same period of the previous year. Consumers worldwide are purchasing more affordable tablet devices instead. Tablets became popular following the release of Apple’s iPad in 2010. Tablet prices have since tumbled due to heated competition from manufacturers who have flooded the market with cheaper alternatives.
