Manufacturers have entered the small-size flat-panel market, flourishing, which also indicates that the competition in the small-size tablet PC market will be particularly fierce in the second half, there will be competition for innovation, consumers may choose to have more new options in the second half of the Tablet PC .

It is not without reason that a small-sized tablet computer should be made into a small-sized tablet computer. First, the launch of a small tablet can better compete with Apple. It is undeniable that the Apple iPad is still the most successful tablet PC. Numerous manufacturers have launched a 10.1-inch tablet PC with a similar size to the 9.7-inch Apple iPad under the lead of the Apple boom. Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet sales stand out in many tablet sales. Can fight with Apple. However, this does not mean that the tablet PC can only be the same as the Apple iPad.

However, the market reflects the life potential of this small-sized tablet. : Samsung took the top spot of the 7-inch tablet market with the Galaxy Tab P1000 series. The recent launch of 7-inch flats by manufacturers can illustrate this point.

Second, tap the gap in Apple's tablet market. Apple iPad is 9.7 inches. In order to avoid the same competition with Apple, all brand manufacturers have fought in the smaller tablet PC market below 10 inches to seek development. With the advent of Android 3.2, manufacturers can more freely choose the size of the tablet they are producing, which is even more appealing to Android PCs.

Analysts pointed out that as the iPad gradually gains a foothold in the 10-inch tablet market, other manufacturers will focus on the smaller-sized mini-panels and will form a trend.

Third, cater to consumer preferences. On September 13, the industry’s first “Tablet PC Design Trend Report” was released. Trends in the report predicted the trend of tablet PCs in 2012 from three aspects: appearance, content, and category. In terms of appearance, the report believes that the future tablet The appearance of the computer will be more portable. Consumers are increasingly demanding the portability of their products.

The Tablet PC Design Trend Report believes that in terms of content creation, the use of tablet PCs will shift from acquiring content to creating content, and users will become more involved in content creation. In terms of intelligence, due to the distraction of users, there are too many scattered and shallow readings. Tablet PCs need to assist users in thinking and sedimenting in depth to help users focus on massive information. The computer itself is a tool. It is very efficient in obtaining content and processing information. However, the current tablet is more to satisfy the entertainment needs of consumers. This is only a function of the computer, not all. Tablet PCs are still a category of computers. Although they differ in appearance, they should still have the full functionality of computers. As consumers enthusiastically decline in tablet PCs, more consumers will begin to consider practical issues. At this time, the drawbacks of tablet PCs will become apparent.

Therefore, tablet computers still have to make major improvements in terms of technology. In addition to the original strong entertainment features, more data processing features should be added to help users better create content. Tablet PC is a good tool for mobile office. After perfecting the function, more business people will choose to use a tablet computer for mobile office. This is an era of intelligence. Various consumer products are evolving into smart devices. Tablet PCs are no exception. How to better realize consumer expectations should be the focus of all manufacturers.
