We have all noticed how these tablets are much more sold these days than PCs and how all the main manufacturers are competing in this sector of the market rather than in that, a little more firm and less exciting, than classic personal computers. Even if the tablets, whether they are iPad, Microsoft Surface, Samsung, Nexus or other Android models, are certainly useful objects and very fun to use, they still cannot replace PCs .
The tablet, in the vast majority of cases, is bought by people who already have a PC and is used not so much to replace it, as to accompany it and use it in parallel.
To answer the question of the title then I would say, without any doubt, that the tablets will not kill the classic PCs, at least in the near future.
Tablets are not devices intended to replace PCs for their main function and this also applies to the iPad which can be considered the number one.
The use of tablets occurs mainly in the evening, sitting on the sofa in the living room or even lying on the bed, while PCs are more used during the day, perhaps sitting at the study desk.
Certainly many people use tablets during the day for leisure or commercial reasons (for example, commercials use tablets instead of notepads or diaries), but I think this trend is realistic.
Therefore, given that the vast majority of the touchscreen tablets on the market are used in parallel with the PC, it follows that traditional computers, both portable and fixed, are still used and appreciated today by a large number of people.
Another question could be whether people will buy another computer or switch to the tablet directly when the PC needs to be replaced because it is old or broken.
The coming year will certainly have a key role in this evolution of the market, and if it is true that 2013 was the weakest and least good year for traditional computers, it may not be risky to believe that 2014 will instead be, surprisingly, the year of relaunching laptops.
Calculating that the life of a normal computer is 4 years or a little more, if it is true that since 2011 everyone has bought a tablet instead of a new PC, we should now have arrived at the moment of turnaround and many will be forced to renew the their computers.
It may then be that for some consumers there is a shift towards something hybrid, whether it is tablet but also computer, such as the Microsoft Surface or other tablet solutions with a detachable keyboard, provided that prices drop a bit compared to today .
It is unthinkable, however, that studeinti, professionals and employees of companies can replace the PC with a tablet or even with a hybrid solution, however expensive.
Most likely most people will go back to buying the best new computer available on the market.
My impression therefore is that PCs and tablets cannot be interchangeable or alternative and that if one year the market of one grows at the expense of the other, it is said that a technological revolution is underway and the trend may reverse 'next year.
Speaking from a technical point of view, we have already written what a tablet is for .
Thanks to the countless applications of today, a tablet is not only good for playing games, watching movies wherever you go, listening to music and surfing the internet, but also for doing a certain type of activity and, why not, for working.
There are many things that the Tablet does better than the PC, but there are many others for which the traditional computer remains irreplaceable, especially for office work.
they are, in fact, different objects, such as car and moped or as television and radio, two distinct objects that cannot, at present, replace each other, which are worth using in parallel together.
