Even if you include the ipad, it&#x27;s still not true.  The top 3 sellers nowadays have about 50% of the PC marketshare, and they&#x27;re still IBM(but now called lenovo), HP and Dell.  That&#x27;s around million units - well in excess of ipad sales (mac&#x27;s don&#x27;t really make a dent).  If you took the top 5...<p>And I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s really reasonable to include tablets at all.  The motivation is that they&#x27;re a new, unforeseen development?  But then you really should be including android tablets in those numbers too; and those happen to be sold primarily by other vendors.<p>At the end of the day, it&#x27;s clear that tablets aren&#x27;t laptops, nor do they look like they really replace laptops (especially not the ipad - you could quibble about microsoft&#x27;s offerings, but those haven&#x27;t been too successful yet.)<p>The heart of the prediction was that apple would come to dominate the laptop business.  Clearly, it has not.  It&#x27;s still mostly windows-vendors.  If you include tablets, apple does better, but there too it&#x27;s a minority market share; android dominates.
