In fact, according to a recent study, tablet shipments have the potential to outpace PC shipments within the next 18 months. If true, that would mark a significant shift in the way the enterprise computing space operates and will undoubtedly have a major impact on the way companies leverage IT solutions to do business. As more employees get comfortable using tablets, the enterprise could realize that the PCs might not be the best solution any longer and that tablets are a viable part of the enterprise IT portfolio. Will the enterprise come to use tablets more frequently than notebooks or desktops? Even if enterprise adoption of the tablet grows, it wont be the death knell for the notebook. For the foreseeable future, notebooks and desktops will play an integral role in the average companys daily operation.
