"There seems to be a big disconnect between supply and demand as PC and platform makers are gearing up for AI PCs and tablets to be the next big thing, but the lack of clear use cases and a bump in average selling prices has buyers questioning the utility," Jitesh Ubrani, the research manager with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers, said in a press release about the report.
"It's now up to Microsoft, Apple, and Google to prove the need for locally processed AI to avoid a backlash from hardware makers and end users."
According to the report, tablets are enjoying stronger growth than PCs - 9.8% - this year.
IDC predicts that commercial upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11 will lead to growth of 4.3% next year.
