The researchers delivered last week 2013 the numbers for the PC market in Q3. Gartner reported a decrease of 8.6% over the previous year and just over 80 million sold units and IDC calculated a loss of 7.6% at around 81 million units. Thus, the market was somewhat stronger than expected by analysts and the declines compared with the previous year were lower.
But the peculiarity of the quarter is that there is an increase in the number of sales from the previous quarter. This increase is attributed to the necessary replacement investments from old PCs with XP in companies by IDC. Gartner calls only the re-population of the sales channels with new devices with Windows 8.1, what leads IDC as a second reason as the reason.
The second reason is true, a much weaker Q4 probably follows the better cutting. As Sameer Singh of BitChemy ventures, always a weaker Q4 so far followed a strong Q3. This means that the numbers for the Q4 should move at best in the area of 78-82 million units.
The Tablet numbers for Q3 are not yet known, are probably between 40 and 50 million pieces move. Thus, it is unlikely that the forecast of overtaking of the PCs by tablet pc in uae in the Q4 applies to. Cupertino with Apple's new iPad, which will be presented on October 22, will come back on 22 to 30 million pieces. The strong growth of the Android tablets will make probably also for 40 million pieces, or even more.
There will be so likely to be a tight race between PCs and tablets. If the latter front have the nose, then but just barely.
