Windows PC sales hit low, tablets soar

The latest evidence of a change in buyers tastes comes in a quarterly report from Canalys Research. According to this story from ComputerWorld, shipments of Windows PCs dropped to a new low of 73 per cent of all devices surveyed.

Whether that will change this quarter, when many students (and their parents) will be looking for new laptops for back-to-school, is unknown. One thing is clear is that the introduction of Ultrabooks hasn’t sparked the PC market yet.
