Macs Don`t Matter So Much to Apple Anymore: 10 Reasons Why

When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak first started their company, they called it Apple Computer. It was a name that lived on through decades.

Apple iPad Is Hurting Laptop, Notebook Sales: 10 Reasons Why

Apples iPad is doing a number on laptop sales. In fact, Best Buy recently reported that Apples tablet has reduced laptop sales by 50 percent.
