Market research firm Gartner has reduced its PC shipment forecast for this year and next, predicting the growing popularity of tablet computers such as Apple's iPad will cut into the demand for consumer laptops.
Gartner said it expected global PC shipments of 387.8 million in 2011, up 10.5 per cent from 2010. Previously, it predicted 15.9 per cent growth.
