The Ultrabook devices will shock the tablet PC market. 

The recently introduced Ultrabooks from Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba (which will be launch in the near future), will soon impact the tablet PC market. 

The tablet PCs are mainly emphasizing light and thin features plus battery efficiency, as well as entertainment capabilities, and once the ultrabooks achieve the same features, consumers would rather choose a machine that can satisfy their demand for both entertainment and work, instead of carrying a tablet PC and a notebook around.

According to Acer’s vice president Scott Lin, consumers’ purchasing focus will return to notebooks in 2012, where the Ultrabooks will take over 30% of the global consumer notebook shipments by the end of next year. 

Tablet PC’s shipments are expected to reach 62.5 million units for 2011, even though some companies suffered from unsatisfactory tablet PC sales, which indicates that shipment growth will slow down in 2012.
