• US consumers will buy more PCs in 2015 than they do in 2010.
• Growth will come from new form factors like tablets, but laptop sales will increase steadily also.
• Tablets will cannibalize netbooks, outselling netbooks starting in 2012.
• In 2015, 23% of all PCs sold to consumers in the US will be tablets.
• Desktops aren’t dead. Fewer desktops will be sold in 2015 than in 2010, but in 2015, they’ll still be used by more consumers than any other type of PC.
