Microsoft has with Surface tablet for the
first time achieved in the online sales in October more sales than Apple with
the iPad. According to WinBeta reported, citing data from 101data Ecom
Insights, Microsoft was the first time a higher turnover in the online sales of
tablets to achieve than the otherwise much stronger competitor Apple this year.
While Microsoft still reached a share of almost 15% at the beginning of the
year and was overtaken nearly Amazon (while the iPad at about 30% was) came in October
the turn: Microsoft reached in online sales accounted for 45%, while Apple on
17% declined.
Data published as mentioned by 101data Ecom
Insights - whose evaluations are based on the information of the 100 largest
online shops in the United States, which a good 95% of the turnover of all products
sold online is covered.
Due to the success of Microsoft is due
primarily to the release of the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book that are
extremely far asked. In addition, the increase in sales is also the
significantly higher price of high-end models - characterized Microsoft does not
sell as many numbers to achieve strong gains.
Demand for Surface tablets rises, and with
it, sales - sales of tablets will probably tighten in the coming months and
years. Devices like the Microsoft Surface are becoming increasingly popular and
there are always more Convertibles with Windows 10. The iPad Pro is sure to be
interpreted as a reaction to this development - we will see how well it comes
and how Apple in the future to the increasing success of Surface- and 2in1
devices responding.
