Accordingly, more often tablets select potential customers from leading manufacturers of desktop computers and laptops. According to analytical data in the 1st quarter of 2014, consumer demand for laptops and netbooks decreased by 36%.

However, according to the corporation IDC statistics sales of popular "tablets" at the beginning of this year showed less impressive growth than a year earlier. According to analysts, the volume of shipments of tablet PCs decreased by 8% in real terms (to 1.66 million units) and by 34.1% in monetary terms (439 million dollars).
