Still true. Apple mouses are no more than shiny toys nowadays
As opposed to old Apple mouses? Those were designed only for style, not for right click or scroll wheels

Are there spreadsheets for Xbox? Are there drawing apps? Are there remote access apps for xbox?
iPad is a computer that is personal. PC stands for "personal computer".

Deal with it.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Here's some meaningful stats: In the last year, Apple TVs sold more units than either XBox or Wii.
Seriously. Apple TV sales have gone up, XBox and Wii sales have seriously dropped. Wii U was supposed to sell 5 million per year but only did 3.5 million, and Apple TV did 1.7 million in the last quarter alone, and over 4 million per year.
That makes all modern consumer electronics PCs. This includes calculators and cars. If it's a computer, and one person owns it, making it "personal", it's a PC..... No.
The surface pro is not underpowered and has no where near netbook level hardware. Its using core i5 which is 5-10 times faster than the atoms that were used in netbooks.

I'm responsible for 3 of those iPad purchases, including one Mini.
I'm still waiting for my personal thank you from Tim Cook.
Surface pro is a pain in the neck because of windows. Put Linux on it, it suddenly becomes a thing worth talking about.
Let's use *LTD* logic. If the numbers make Apple look good, they are relevant. If they make another company look good and Apple bad, they are irrelevant. Nice and simple.
Well when we had netbooks--people complained it was a race to the bottom.
How's it different now with tablets? Will there be profits to made in the future?

There is a spreadsheet program for XBOX 360? That sounds horrible. Are you talking about a hacked 360 that runs Ubuntu Linux?
If you are going to combine Apples iPad with desktops then you better combine the XBox too and all other gaming machines.
The iPad doesn't compare to a fully featured desktop operating system as much as a gaming console/device which also has web, email, etc. does.
Come back with meaningful stats. next time.
Yeah, nobody actually browses the web or check email with their consoles.
Try again.
Counts as a PC for me. I am replacing my MacBook with a Mac Mini and will be exclusively using my ipad on the road. My ipad 2 does everything I need to do on the go. The mini will handle all serious tasks.
Best we include the iPhone, iPod Touch and perhaps the Apple TV too

The only people who consider iPads to be PCs are the 5 rabid zealots in this thread.

I own an IT business, and I have yet to see any tablet other than an iPad being used in any business. I have never seen an HP or Lenovo tablet being used anywhere, even in homes. I have seen exactly two Kindle Fires ever used/bought, and both of those users ended up buying an iPad within months.
Just curious if anyone has any of the non-Apple brands actually being used institutionally. Or even with consumers.
Almost forgot my noise cancelling headphones. It is computer driven and doesn't get much more personal than that.

Can you download spreadsheets on your headphones? Can you edit photos with your car?
A tablet is just another kind of PC. From the Surface Pro down to the iPad. They're PCs.
