Re:Apple went No. 1 in PC sales by Devilboy on Friday August 03, 2012 @06:00AM (#4333345)
If laptops are PCs then iPads should qualify too in my opinion. Traditionally when you say 'PC' you probably mean a desktop machine, not a laptop or notebook, but if you start including laptops then you might as well count netbooks and tablets and while we're at it let's throw in phones too. Are these not all 'Personal Computers'?

If iPads are "PCs" then why not iPhones and iPodTouches? They run the same OS - it shouldn't be screen size that determines it, right?

This is a way to pump up Apple stock with intentionally misleading information. No one considers an iPad a "PC" unless they're being pedantic or trying to mislead.
