Dell reentry flat panel pushes Window 8 tablet to compete iPad

March 21 news, according to foreign media reports, there is news that Dell will once again throw in the Tablet PC battle - this time, Dell will push the Windows 8 Tablet PC and Apple iPad will face a confrontation. This is undoubtedly a good news for Microsoft, because without the strong support of Dell and Hewlett-Packard, Windows 8 tablets will be "born."

Since the Apple iPad was released, it seems that a valuable Windows tablet has become a device that people have always been looking forward to. Today, the Windows 8 system is equipped with a Metro interface and is compatible with ARM architecture devices, which makes Windows 8 tablet computers make up for the gaps that Android system tablet computers cannot achieve. The addition of the Windows 8 tablet computer also made Apple more of an adversary, especially in the commercial market.

Now many dealers are lining up to join the trend of Windows 8 tablet PC production. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in January this year, Lenovo launched its unique IdeaPad Yoga design concept for Windows 8 Tablet PC, and promised that Lenovo will become the first Windows 8 tablet distributor after the launch of Windows 8 system. . Other distributors such as Nokia, Asus, etc. are also waiting.

However, the key to whether the Windows 8 tablet can successfully capture the tablet PC market is whether it can gain consumers' favor. Since Dell and Hewlett-Packard are the preferred suppliers of servers and PCs in the commercial market, this means that Dell and HP are offering Windows 8 tablets at a reasonable cost, which has a unique advantage over the Apple iPad. The dispute between Dell and Hewlett-Packard to join the tablet computer is crucial to the formation of the tablet computer market.

As long as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and other distributors are able to develop a compelling device with Windows 8 and the price is reasonable, the tablet PC market landscape will change. A device can connect to a traditional Windows network, seamlessly connect computer tools and network resources already in use on the commercial market, and provide users with the required information is the key to the device's ability to sell. Of course, a device that has the above functions at the same time may also cause confusion when the device is used.

In spite of this, it cannot be concluded that the Windows 8 tablet will become the market terminator for the Apple iPad. This is because if Microsoft is deviating during the development of the Windows 8 system, or the developer does not consider the application requirements of the market, and the tablet dealer provided by the hardware dealer is not running well, the unreasonable pricing will lead to the failure of the Windows 8 tablet. There are many uncertainties such as this.

Recently, Onuora Amobi said in a blog updated on the Windows 8 official website that in addition to the above-mentioned factors that may lead to the failure of the Windows 8 tablet computer, the Windows 8 tablet computer will also face more serious challenges. Although the Windows 8 tablet has a certain market demand, these requirements mainly come from the IT department. Unfortunately, the IT department has consumed a lot of money, but it is an indispensable department. In general, IT departments are mandated by departments that can really create business benefits. If corporate executives and business unit personnel can effectively use the Apple iPad to handle business, then the demand for the iPad by the business unit will exceed that of the IT department.

Although Microsoft only developed tablet PCs recently, Android tablet PCs are not enough to compete with Apple iPad because of their application defects. This provides a good opportunity for Microsoft's Windows 8 tablet PC market competition. The development and design of the Windows 8 tablet computer communicated closely with the application developers and achieved cooperation with the major distributors Dell and HP. These ensured the reliability of the Windows 8 tablet application and the possibility of competition on the Apple iPad.
