While the tablet market continues to climb, the notebook market will see a corresponding decline. DisplaySearch predicts a 7% decline in notebook PC sales during 2014. Though PC manufacturers had hoped touchscreen notebooks might spur notebook adoption, DisplaySearch’s numbers show weak adoption of the products. Shipments of standard notebooks is predicted to fall to just 105 million in 2017.
The only category of the notebook segment seen on the rise is the “ultra-slim” category ( devices such as the MacBook Air and other “ultrabooks”). DisplaySearch predicts that shipments of ultra-slim notebooks will rise to 57 million by the year 2017.
