Laptop Sales See New Revival After Decline Of Tablet

[quote]Laptop sales have been increasing lately with the decline of tablet sales. The tablet, once touted as the laptop killer, is slowly sinking in popularity.

The reason behind the increase in laptop sales is said to be partly due to Microsoft stopping its support for the Windows XP operating system.

Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly stands by this idea as the driving force behind increasing laptop sales.

He said on Wednesday, “The tablets boomed and now are crashing. The volume has really gone down in the last several months. But I think the laptop has something of a revival because it’s becoming more versatile.

Is there any irony in the fact that MS keeps running commercials touting the Surface/Pro as being quite more than capable than a laptop? Just saw another one a couple of hours ago... :roll:
