Abstract

The global notebook PC industry's shipment growth is anticipated to have witnessed a year-on-year decline for the first time in 2012, mainly due to the global economic uncertainties and the increasing replacement effect of tablets. Nevertheless, the introduction of Windows 8 SP1 and Microsoft's termination of XP support in April, 2004 are projected to trigger the replacement demand for enterprise notebook PCs during the period 2014 - 2015. However, with notebook PCs entering the mature stage, the notebook PC's high growth era is more likely to be the thing of the past. This report outlines the future trends of the notebook PC industry and examines major players' strategies including IC chipmakers, operating system suppliers, and PC branded vendors in the post-PC era.
