6. Thin Is In

Driven largely by tablets, mostly iPads and ultrabooks including the MacBook Air, next year will be the year when thin moves across the mainstream of notebook computers.

Tablets including Apple’s iPad are going to overtake netbooks by market share within two years, and will by 2015 constitute the second largest product category after notebooks. But this will not be just thin products it will continue to be driven in smartphones, tablets, and TVs as well. Vendors will continue to compete to be the thinnest in every category.
