Investopedia: 5 Biggest Tech Losers For 2013

Question: Who will be the biggest gainers and losers in the tech sector for 2013?

Losers
Even if some of the gains have evaporated in the second half of the year, 2012 has still been a pretty solid year for tech stocks. On Wall Street, though, no good deeds go unpunished for long, and there will certainly be some losers in 2013. While crystal balls are still in short supply, these are some stories that investors might want to approach with some caution in 2013.

WinTel (Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) / Intel (Nasdaq:INTC)
Although I don't necessarily believe that Microsoft and Intel are going to rack up big losses for 2013 (and the stocks have underperformed in 2012), I do believe 2013 may mark the Waterloo for those who believe that the WinTel PC concept still has legs. The ultrabook concept has yet to catch on and Win8 could be setting up for a disappointment. While I think Lenovo (Nasdaq:LNVGY) still has room to grow its PC business (and that neither the desktop or notebook computer are going away), I think 2013 will confirm that whatever future growth Microsoft and Intel may have, it's not in the PC business anymore.
