10 Best Computer Hardware Stocks To Own Right Now

The small-sized segment of the tablet market is where it's at. Growth of smaller tablets is expected to drive much of the gains in the broader market in the coming years, thanks in large part to the greater mobility that the form factor offers accompanied by attractive price points.

Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) foray downmarket with the iPad Mini is a testament to how powerful this trend will be, particularly after Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) proved that Steve Jobs was wrong when he said that 10-inch tablets are the perfect size. Even Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT  ) won't be able to ignore smaller tablets, and is likely preparing a 7-inch Surface as we speak.

The iPad Mini is perched at the high end of that market segment, though; its $329 starting price represents a significant premium to the $199 that buys you a Kindle Fire HD or Nexus 7.
