蘋果（Apple）iPad

????雖然iPad已經面市3年，但它對計算機世界引發的變革無可爭議。曾經局限于臺式機或筆記本電腦的普通用戶，現在可以在擁有大屏幕的便攜式設備上輕松完成很多任務，比如寫郵件、查看Facebook消息和觀看視頻。實際上，平板電腦勢頭強勁，可能正在影響傳統PC的銷售。2013年第一季度，全球PC出貨量下跌14%，連續第四個季度下滑，創下PC銷售最大跌幅。未來幾年，隨著平板電腦運行的速度更快、搭載的功能更多，用戶可能將更加依賴它們。

????Although the iPad has already been available for three years, there's just no disputing the way it is changing computing. Casual users once tethered to their desktops or notebooks can now comfortably perform many of the same tasks -- typing out emails, checking Facebook, watching movies -- on a portable device with a large screen. In fact, the tablet movement has become so strong, it's likely affecting traditional PC sales: Worldwide shipments of PCs fell 14% during the first quarter of 2013 and marked the fourth consecutive quarter of decline and worst PC sales drop in history. In the years to come, users will likely become even more reliant on their tablets as they become faster and sport more features.
