HOLDOUT: Even if a household owns a tablet, for some tasks a computer is still optimal.

SAN FRANCISCO: Tablets won't eclipse personal computers as fast as once thought, according to studies by market tracker International Data Corporation (IDC). 

IDC on Friday cut its forecast for shipments of tablets and "two-in-one" devices combining tablet and laptop features to 233.1 million, saying growth would be about half of what was originally predicted.
