Tablet Craze is Waning Acer Chairman

Acer chairman JT Wang says consumer craze for tablet PCs is waning, and interest in notebooks is reviving because of Intel's Ultrabook and Microsoft's Windows 8.

Digtimes quotes Wang as saying that Acer consumer surveys have confirmed interest in Ultrabook and the company is set to launch one in September, competitively priced at US$799.

Tablet PCs, as pure content consumption devices with no productivity features, are of interest to just a small segment of consumers and that market has peaked.

Intel predicts that Ultrabooks will account for 40% of notebook shipments by the end of 2012. Wang pegs his estimate at 25-35%.

Microsoft's Windows 8 is written for use on both notebooks and tablets, but Wang believes it will boost notebook sales more.

Earlier this month, Acer founder Stan Shih said that tablets as well as ultrabooks are fads and urged component makers to continue focusing on notebook computers.

Shih acknowledged Apple's success with the iPad, but asserted business and consumer demand for personal computers will continue.
