Apple, with iPad, is top PC maker

The largest PC maker in the world is — Apple? Hard to believe, maybe, but according to the latest analysis from Canalys, Apple shipped 120 million PCs last year, if you include the iPad. Apple shipped just 5 million Macs, but iPad shipments outstripped that number threefold, and the company had a six-point gain in the market over a year ago. The hardest-hit PC makers last year were Acer, Dell and Hewlett-Packard, which is often given the title of the largest PC maker in the world.
