The unprecedented demand for the iPad during its worldwide launch this year has caused some in the industry to suspect that tablets will soon surpass laptops in terms of popularity. With more tablet designs materialising by the minute from rivals such as Microsoft and Toshiba, it could be that the market for laptops will soon be completely overshadowed.

Gianpiero Morbello, the Vice President of Acer, has also expressed his doubts. “If a user wants a flat screen instead of a clamshell design, we’ll be ready to satisfy this,” he said of the changing laptops market.

Representatives from technology company AMD have disagreed, however, stating that they believe that the market for laptops is simply too big to be overtaken. “The market for laptops is 30 million a year,” said AMD’s Senior Vice President, Nigel Dessau.

”There will be people who use iPads and people who use laptops, And I think we’ll discover there’s room for both.”
