With the fall of tablets, some experts predict a growth in sales of the PC market

For some time now we have seen how there has been a drop in the tablet market A market in which users Lost of this type of devices have not remained in the nothing and have happened in many cases to make use of a convertible or in others to opt again for the PC.

"

And it is that although many have spoken of the post PC era, it seems that reality insists on contradicting them. And it is that the PC was not dead, it was just taking a break or that is at least what it seems with the latest opinions that speak of a growth of the park of this type of device."

And the fact is that portables, increasingly lighter, slimmer and more powerful represent a more than solvent alternative both for use in environments labor as to lend themselves in leisure time with games and even with Virtual Reality.

In this sense, Ray Chen, president of Compal Electronics, has expressed that he expects the company's sales to increase in terms of laptopsby 10% reaching 40 million units.

This opinion only reinforces the figures that have been forecast at IDC in which they show that both convertibles, with a growth that is expected to be 21% , as well as laptops, which expect an increase of 22%, will counteract the meager rise in figures for traditional tablets, which remains at 0.8%.

Some figures that could be achieved even in a period of time in which supply problems of both SSD disks and DRAM memories have been experiencedfor the teams and that have reduced the distribution in the markets.

The figures in Spain say the opposite

Worldwide figures that contrast with the reality perceived in Spain And it is that in the home market in the last year and a half there has been a drop in sales. Thus, in the last quarter of 2016, 918,000 million units were sold, 10.6% less. Figures that in the year as a whole materialized in a total of 3.2 million units, 11.8% less than in 2015.

The question that remains is therefore who in this dance of opinions will end up being right. If those who predict the growth of sales or those who with the figures in hand speak of a drop in sales that not even _gamers_ can prevent.

We can say that if in the end these figures come true, part of the success may be due to the arrival on the market of equipment that is now beginning to offer more affordable prices that even fall below the cold border of 1,000 euros. Ideal products for users who are looking for a cheap laptop for their children's school or for tasks that do not require too much power and who live with high-performance products for comfortable pockets.
