“Apple has scheduled a product-announcement event for tomorrow. My expectations are that the products announced will be mostly evolutionary, but there is a dark horse that can change the game for tablet computing,” Nigam Arora writes for MarketWatch.
“The dark horse is a 13-inch iPad that is a replacement for full-fledged laptops,” Arora writes. “If this dark horse appears, the technical setup in Apple stock is such that the stock can easily rocket to $600 and beyond.”
Arora writes, “Such a device would be a game changer because it would be the first tablet from Apple that would be a full-fledged laptop replacement. This would open up a totally new segment that Apple could lead until the competition catches up. There would be big demand for such a device among corporate customers. The introduction of such a device would also calm critics who are fearful that Apple has stopped innovating.”
