The big price cuts of Windows and Cube can be described as a great impact on the whole China tablet PC market. It will lead to reduce prices of the other brands of the same type of MID tablet PCs, but also will influence other dimensions of the Tablet PC. I believe that a large number of various sizes of single-core China Mid Tablet PC will begin substantial price cuts, a new round of price surges.
Windows and Cube has reduced the price, I believe that Telcast and Onda recently will be forced to cut prices, without lower prices, then the product is no longer marketable. And other small brands must also follow up , although a bit painful. Of course, this price reduction is certainly not limited to 9.7 -inch tablet PC. After all, $180 can get a 9.7 – inch IPS screen tablet PC, who will buy the similar price of other sizes Tablet PC ? Even if there have buyers, and it is certainly a very small number. The other sizes of tablet PCs is certainly difficult to arouse consumer desire to purchase without price cuts.
Slashed prices of various sizes of products will definitely bring the whole Android Tablet PC market a new round of baptism, survival of the fittest will be the inevitable, a large number of weaker manufacturers will be eliminated, and we wait and see who will leave ultimately. This June will be the starting point of the outbreak of the China-made dual-core Tablet PC, the Tablet Computer market will be dual-core products to play a leading role. Dual-Core Tablet PC era is coming. The Cube U30GT RK3066 dual core tablet will be a good start! With the substantial price cuts of single-core Tablet PC, the curtain of Tablet PC’s universal coverage, is about to pull up. Anyway, as advances in the technology, improvement of market development, more affordable products will come to the market, and who benefit the most is absolutely the consumers.
The foreign trade market which consumers less concern about, in fact, before the price cuts war of China tablet PC, has been changed. On Hong Kong Electronics Fair, there a lot of tablet PC for the foreign trade market, of which there are several 7 inches A13 program capacitive screen tablet, offer only 49 dollars (about 300 yuan, the price can be lower if large quantity), and also 7-inch 1024 * 600 pixels IPS screen Tablet PC, the price of it is only about $ 75 (about 470 yuan). Foreign trade products focus on the amount, these quotes from the cost price is not too far away. It shows that the price cuts of China Tablet PC have already open.
Cook: hybrid of Ultrabook and MID Tablet PC like Toaster and Refrigerator into 1
This year, on 2012 the Intel Developers Conference, Intel joins Microsoft to introduce Cove Point which is hybrid concept model of Ultrabook and Tablet PC equipped with Windows 8 operating system. It owns PC -class performance, portability of Mid Tablet PC and outstanding experience, I believe that this combination must arouse a lot of people’s interest. Quite a lot of manufacturers have made a positive assessment, Lenovo’s vice president had publicly said: “This hybrid product of Tablet PC and Ultrabook can beat Apple iPad.
However, Apple seems to be supercilious about the new concept! On Apple ‘s quarterly earnings report yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked whether it will launch a iPad MAC laptop computers similar as Cove Point at the meeting, and he pointed out that this hybrid product of Ultrabook and Tablet Computer with Windows 8 looks like Toaster and Refrigerator combined into 1.
Cook replied that the combination of these two will lead to the imbalance of the product positioning, and may have a negative impact on consumers. Like a combination of baked toaster and refrigerator, it may not really provide users more benefits, so Apple do not intend to launch the iPad the MAC mixed. Dear readers, how do you think which is better, the notebook and tablet computers will be mixed into a single device or maintain their own independence?
