As we’re waiting for the iPad Mini, Apple is discussing the Mac, which has become the #1 Desktop and Notebook, according to the company. This is huge, because the personal computer industry has been run by Microsoft in the past, but Apple has shown strong growth in the past six years straight.

More and more, regular old folks and not designers and developers, are using Macs at work. In turn, they want one at home as well.

It doesn’t hurt that the iPhone and iPad sync seamlessly with the devices. This power play in the PC market is something to behold.
