According to IDC, in 2013, tablet shipments will pass portable computer shipments worldwide. This is partly thanks to tablets 58.7% growth year-over-year, and partly due to the PC market&#8217;s apparent slump in the past few quarters.

The average selling price of a tablet is expected to dip to a low $381, while the ASP of a PC in 2013 is around $635.
