and a big opportunity for POET!

Q2 2014, the worldwide PC market experienced 14 percent growth year-over-year to 123.9 million units, if you take into consideration desktops, laptops, and tablets.

Apple managed to maintain its lead at 14 percent market share, even though a 10 percent increase in Mac shipments could not make up for the decline in iPad sales (this was its weakest tablet quarter since Q1 2012). The American company’s overall shipments declined by 5 percent as a result, letting Lenovo close in and boost its share to just below 14 percent.

In fact, Canalys estimates Lenovo was “some 780,000 units behind Apple.” The Chinese company managed to pull off another impressive quarter, with shipments up almost 20 percent year-on-year.

“The tablet market has quickly found itself in the same position the notebook market was in some years ago, with minimal increases in hardware performance forming the basis for an argument to upgrade.”
