It is well-known that tablets are gaining immense popularity these days. And why not? They're extremely convenient for computing. It's estimated that by 2017 tablet shipments will peak to 386 million annually and Android powered tablets will control more than 50% of total tablet market.

According to latest rumour, Apple is considering to replace 11-inch MacBook Air with 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which could be launched by October next year.
