The End Of The Mac, Depicted In Beautiful Charts

During the fourth quarter, Apple's Mac business shrank more than it has during any other quarter in the past 10 years – down 22% year-over year.

Mac sales grew slower than the overall PC business for the first time in a long while.

Apple "computer" sales are doing well, of course, thanks to the iPad.

Last week, Jay Yarow touched on these themes in a post titled The End Of The Mac Is Coming, And Apple Is Thrilled.

Now, Splat-F's Dan Frommer has come up with a series of beautifully clear charts to illustrate the numbers.
