iPads Have Crippled the Growth of PC Sales

Sales of PCs were on the rise in 2010 -- that is, until the iPad's release on April 3 of that year.

Since the launch of the signature Apple tablet, the quarterly growth of PC sales has fallen drastically. By 2012, PC sales have been in decline. In fact, there has not been an increase in sales in any quarter over the last year and a half.
