Heh yeah, ironically, Apple was somewhat the first to slowly move away/minimize damage from the laptops/desktop market. It didn't kill it off per se, but it was the first to really feel the shrink. There were so many articles about it last year and this year. How the iphone, ipad, ipod etc. easily outdo the mb and mbp in terms of margins and volume.
Though that's somewhat unfair and misleading to say. IBM got rid of their computer sub a while back. We now know it as Lenovo.
HOLY SHIT IT'S TRUE! INSTORE OPTIONS FOR THE TABLET FOR SOME RETAILERS ONLY!!!

I've never had a good experience with HP.
The Personal Comcrappers aside, their printers, scanners etc. are supposed to be their best products; however, in the past 12 or so years I've had the displeasure of using their software nearly everywhere I went. Jobs, classrooms, offices, houses of family and friends; I got practically a release by release experience with what I consider the cluckiest most user unfriendly software I've ever encountered.
If I need to consult forums to figure out how to do something, the software engineers are severely screwing up.
