A new ChangeWave survey shows overall consumer tablet demand remains modest, a trend we typically see this time of year. But what impact – if any – are the latest releases from Microsoft and Samsung having on consumer preferences?

The August survey of 2,310 primarily North American consumers focused on tablet buying plans, customer satisfaction and other key market trends – including demand for big screens. The survey also looked at PC buying. ChangeWave Research is a service of 451 Research.

Report details include:

• Tablet Competition between Microsoft Surface, Apple iPad, Google Nexus, Amazon Kindle Fire HD and Samsung Galaxy, among others
• Tablet Customer Satisfaction Ratings
• Planned Tablet Buyer Preferences
• Consumer PC Demand – Apple vs. Hewlett Packard vs Lenovo vs. Dell
• Interest in Downloading Content for Offline Viewing
