Apple's CEO said that traditional computers (including PCs and laptops) and tablets are two distinct products and manufacturers are trying to use the traditional computer's operating system to make up for the tablet's shortcomings. . The result of laptop and tablet consolidation is an imperfect third product. This product not only does not work smoothly but also has a design that is not optimized for tablets.

Affected by the successes created by Apple, users not only require Windows 8 tablet to meet the thin, light as Apple's iPad but also have to compete at all other features. This can make it difficult for hybrid computers to run Microsoft's latest operating system. Some people believe that Asus Transformer Prime is a testament to the success of hybrid models with touch screens but in fact, this is just a tablet with a keyboard dock attached.

Currently, it is still not possible to predict for sure the future of traditional tablet hybrid computers. However, if you are not careful, the manufacturers are likely to fail to try to integrate these two products into one and compete with other tablet models on the market.
