Not true about tablets, Craig. What did the article say about tablets?
I always thought the hype over tablets was silly. It seemed like giddy people
with a new toy that couldn't think beyond the new toy giddiness. It seems clear
that the biggest loser here is tablets, whose sales plummeted far more than PC
sales. The 7.7% drop was not for the quarter. It was from Q3 2014 to Q3 2015:
"Gartner projected that PC shipments declined by 7.7% in the third quarter
compared with the third quarter of 2014."
It's not good, but the article correctly analyzed the reasons, IMO.
