You lose!

That article, is about 1 1/2 years old, and the predictions turned out to be wrong.

This year, PCs are expected to outsell tablets, by a lot.

Tablets, especially the iPads, are meeting with a downturn in sales, and prospects for recovery in that segment aren’t good.

The tablets which might have a chance, are the hybrids, with a full-scale OS and convertible hardware, where they can be used as laptops and tablets.
