苹果（Apple）iPad

????虽然iPad已经面市3年，但它对计算机世界引发的变革无可争议。曾经局限于台式机或笔记本电脑的普通用户，现在可以在拥有大屏幕的便携式设备上轻松完成很多任务，比如写邮件、查看Facebook消息和观看视频。实际上，平板电脑势头强劲，可能正在影响传统PC的销售。2013年第一季度，全球PC出货量下跌14%，连续第四个季度下滑，创下PC销售最大跌幅。未来几年，随着平板电脑运行的速度更快、搭载的功能更多，用户可能将更加依赖它们。

????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.
