What's most noticeable in these stats is not really the drop by Apple, but rather the gain by Lenovo. Wonder if this might be a wake-up call to Apple that convertibles are a big part of the future. Apple is well positioned to enter into this spa…

I have a lot of respect for NPD Displaysearch. Nobody knows the display market better. That being said, I am surprised at a number of their predictions. For example, for Apple to produce a Phablet would be a sharp turnaround in strategy. Hav…
