Ballmer: Tablets will displace laptops | |
|
||
| Time: 09:43 EST/14:43 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Although tablet PCs represent just a sliver of the PC market today, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer says the new category could eventually account for one-third of all computers--by supplanting the laptop. Ballmer told CNET News.com that over the next three to four years, the cost difference between building a tablet PC and a traditional notebook will evaporate, making the addition of tablet-related abilities into all portables a natural. "There will be a zero cost (difference) for tablet," Ballmer said Sunday at a Microsoft party at the swank Aureole restaurant in the Mandalay Bay Casino here. The party took place just as Comdex Fall 2002 was kicking into gear. | ||

I agree 100%. In less than five years the majority of portable computers sold will be Tablet kind ones. Now that Mr. Ballmer and me have the same opinion could I make 10% of his monthly salary? This post was edited by Fritzly on Monday, November 18, 2002 at 15:37. |

| Naw, I can type faster than I can write, and writing is the whole point of the Tablet. I'll stick with the Laptop. But might settle for the Tablets that are basically laptops with those special screens. |

| I think that is what he means. It's not an either or. The convertible TPCs will take the place of regular laptops as the cost differences decreases. |

| There are only a few that have keyboards still. Most of the Tablets have just a screen, and inputs. |
