It is about the size of my mini iPad.
My Apple iPad cost me about $800.00.
My new mini computer cost me $77.00.
And you know what, the screen on the mini is very close in quality to my Apple mini iPad.
It runs on Windows 10, comes with Microsoft office and has an intel quad core processor with 32 gb.
According to the latest numbers provided by marketing research firm Canalys, the shipments of PC devices -- which includes desktops, notebooks, all-in-ones, two-in-ones, and tablets -- amounted to 101 million units in the first quarter of 2016.
The number underscores a 13% decline from the same period a year ago, and it is also the lowest volume since the second quarter of 2011.
Apple led the chart among PC OEMs, moving 14 million units (suffering 17% fall), followed by Chinese conglomerate Lenovo. HP assumed the third position, with Dell and Samsung closely following it.
Tim Coulling, Canalys Senior Analyst said in a press statement:
The global PC market had a bad start to 2016 and it is difficult to see any bright spots for vendors in the coming quarters.
The tablet boom has faded in the distance and the market is fully mature.
Global shipments declines are expected to continue unless vendors bring transformational innovation
Apple and Microsoft are propping up shipments in established markets with their detachables, but price points make them less affordable in low-income countries.
Although other vendors are coming to market with cheaper alternatives, they are unlikely to have a big impact on volumes in the short term.
The number of people looking to buy their first PC is at an all-time low and 2016 is likely to bring yet more turmoil to global PC vendors.
