The Development of the Ultrabook is more Potential than Windows 8 Tablet
Recently foreign technology blog Scobleizer made a discussion about the future of Microsoft Windows 8 tablet computer, they thought that price and the problem of the content will let the dream of Microsoft backing into this market completely bust. In fact, Microsoft has planed Courier Tablet project very early, but in the end it was no undervalued by high-level so to die young, now with the launch of Windows 8, Microsoft is not the stigma it once was. Apple iPad has already ruled in the block-areas for2, 3 years. Google Android system flat was cut from under the horse, Microsoft comes in as a participant really some force and increases their risk. First of all, the flat market is not a warring situation but "a dominant." Since Apple launched the ipad, the ipad has sold over 40 million units, although Android has attacked Apple in the meantime. NetmarketShare's latest statistics showed that global mobile OS share iOS accounted for 61.5% and the Android accounted for only 18.9%. The two company mobile phones are comparable, or even Android is a little stronger, the digital difference so big is because it contains the Android tablet computer. So you can imagine how Android manufacturers in this area was weak, especially relatively smart phones: Samsung and HTC have just in the third quarter of 2011 ranked the world's No.1 and the United States No.1. This point of view certainly has some truth, the price is playing a key role, therefore I slightly hope that it is Amazon Kindle Fire, but it is also selling hardware costs, the reason for selling $ 199, Amazon has own content and services, others can't follow it. Microsoft, as a software provider, can not maintain these areas of operation by selling Windows 8 system. And now a trend is the tablet computer market is slowdown, Apple iPad sales is just 11.13 million in the third quarter. Consumer market for fresh enthusiasm has faded away. When the iPad is as gift and entertainment products, the industry turns their look in notebook. Can have a strong battery life 24 hours a day, performance, and easy to carry a new notebook? The Ultrabook concept that was launched by Intel at this time will be fully recognized. What is more, The Ultrabook can support any common videos, so it does not need to use like a dvd to ipad mac converter to convert formats, we all know that the ipad only can support mov file and mp4 format, even rip dvd to ipad for mac this simple operation can not be finished. Many in the industry believed that Ultrabook can surpass the tablet computer as the new favorite thing, a large part of the reason is that with Windows 8 system, it can become a "flat panel + notebook" computer. Microsoft's new system to allow users to switch their traditional operations and touch, this time Microsoft also reflected the role and characteristics, which getting the attention will naturally be higher than the Tablet market .
