“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

Steven Paul Jobs was an American business magnate, inventor, and investor. He was the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple.

Worldwide Shipments of Tablets and Chromebooks Declined Sharply in 2022 IDC Tracker

Worldwide Shipments of Tablets and Chromebooks Declined Sharply in 2022 IDC Tracker. NEEDHAM, Mass, February 03, 2023 - Worldwide tablet shipments posted flat growth of 0.3% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2022 (4Q22), totaling 45.7 million units, according to preliminary data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker. For the full year 2022, the tablet market saw a decline of 3.3% year over year, ending two years of solid growth although shipments remain well above pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, Chromebook shipments continued to contract in 4Q22 with shipments totaling 3.6 million units for a year-over-year decline of 24.3%. Shipments for the full year were down 48% in 2022 after an astounding 180.5% growth in 2021. Apple and Samsung continued to be the main drivers for the tablet market. Apple remains the indisputable leader in this space and gained ten percentage points in market share compared to 4Q21. The vendor launched several new products in the quarter – the 11" and 12.9" iPad Pros and a 10.9" iPad – which were well received. The delayed launch of these products and the low base for comparison due to constraints in their supply chain drove the gains for Apple in 4Q22. Samsung benefitted from continued efforts in effective resource management, especially to fulfill several projects in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan and China) and Western Europe. The vendor has also been focusing on its premium tablet lineup to help build shipment volume. For Amazon, even though the fourth quarter is generally its best shipment quarter, two Prime Day sales in the year and the overall softness in the demand led to reduced shipments in the quarter. Lenovo and Huawei finished the quarter in a statistical tie* for the fourth position. Lenovo's shipments have been in decline due to several commercial projects coming to an end. Huawei's increased focus on marketing large screen tablets in their main geographic market, China (PRC), is paying off and they've managed to remain in the top 5 despite many hurdles. Tablets, which were once used mainly for entertainment, have gained momentum in a range commercial applications. Faced with a looming economic downturn and market saturation, vendors will need to focus on the commercial segment to drive sales in the coming years. “We are currently amidst changing market dynamics. While affordability and simplicity of use will continue to be some of the key drivers for the market to sustain, consumers have also begun to evaluate the importance of higher-spec devices when making purchase decisions. As a result, vendors will need to focus on evolving their tablet portfolio. In addition, 2022 saw some new players like Xiaomi and OPPO enter the market offering consumers a complete solution that is connected across devices, enriching the user experience," said Anuroopa Nataraj, senior research analyst with IDC's Mobility and Consumer Device Trackers. "In this changing environment, it will be necessary for vendors to rethink their product portfolios to cater to consumers, education, and corporate in an effort to drive demand."

SZBOX S513’s Intel Power and Connector Mystery!

SZBOX S513 is a flat personal computer that has an Intel CPU and a questionable selection of connectors.

As a result of its strong and yet current Intel CPU, the SZBOX S513 is a flat computer system that is expected to be suitable for a variety of applications. from another hand, the selection among links doesn’t appear to offer anything very favorable.

The four performing centers with an authorized clock speeds of 4.7 gigahertz ultra eight efficiency cores with up to 3.7 GHz are included in the SZBOX S513, which is a modern and small personal computer that is powered by an Intel Core i5-13500H CPU. Unsurprisingly, a dedicated graphics card is not used thus, consumers are need to make due with the Intel Iris XE graphics processing unit (GPU). In addition to a fan and a heat sink of a sufficiently substantial size, the CPU is equipped with active cooling techniques.

RAM that has a clock frequency of up to 3200 MHz may be utilized, and there are two DDR4 slots accessible for access. Up to 32 gigabytes of random access memory (RAM) may be installed on the SZBOX S513. An SSD with a capacity of up to 1 terabyte is included with the small PC. Ethernet or WiFi 6 are used to make network connections, however the rates at which they are established are merely gigabits.

There is a VGA connection in addition to the HDMI connector, which allows for the possibility of using the device with two monitors. The VGA connector seems to be out of date in compared to the HDMI port, which enables the output of picture content at a resolution of 4K and a refresh rate of 60 hertz.

In spite of the fact that the twist-proof and up-to-date USB type C standard is not there, there are a total of six USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports installed. A jack socket is included on the PCB. A price of somewhat less than $225 is indicated for the SZBOX S513 when it is available for direct import. Although there are no costs associated with shipping, purchasers should be aware that there may be import duties.
