Everything flows, everything changes, but Apple is still the market leader in computers and tablets. Publishes such data Canalys. According to the report of the research, in the last quarter of 2013, the manufacturer has put 30.9 million Mac and iPad.

This is guaranteed by the U.S. vendor 19.5 percent share and the highest number of deliveries. Behind Apple go Lenovo, Samsung and HP. Dell closes the top five. 

It is worth noting that, according to Canalys, a significant advantage over competitors Apple achieved through tablets, not PCs. Thus, the share of total iPad 30 million – 84.3% (26 million gadgets). While the total share of MacBook, iMac, Mac Pro and Mac Mini I want to cry or be sad – selling them reduced from year to year.

The same applies to devices from other manufacturers. 48.3% of the global PC market by the end of the 2013th take tablets. At the same time last year, sales of desktops and laptops fell by 6.9 percentage points, while the Tablet PC sales increased by 65.2%.

Probably for this reason (apparent displacement of one category of goods other) Canalys – a unique team of analysts, classifies the device to a PC. Gartner, IDC and Strategy Analytics, for example, consider only the PC and tablets separately.

Intel has expressed its opinion on the dwindling supply of personal computers in the world market. According to IDC, in the second quarter of 2013 were shipped 75.6 million desktops, laptops and candy bars. Drop over the same period of 2012 was already 11.4%.

Analysts believe that the PC market is showing a decline due to the unstable economic situation as well as the boom of smartphones and tablets, due to which consumers put off purchasing a new desktop, laptop or a candy bar.

At the same time, as noted by Intel, a survey conducted by IDC staff of approximately 4,000 adult residents of the United States, showed that more than 97% of PC users it remains the primary computing device. Moreover, 41% of respondents said that within the next year plan to buy a new PC – desktop or laptop.
