How Apple and Google are redefining the PC

Smartphones have changed the face of personal computing. Google and Apple are marketing Chromebooks and iPads to optimize on that reality.

Personal computing used to be what we did at a desk in front of a big monitor, using a keyboard and a mouse that were connected to a bulky mass tethered to a wall outlet.

Sometimes you had the freedom of a laptop, but whatever the device, it almost always ran Windows.

While it's true that scenario still exists for over a billion people, it's also true that for a billion people most personal computing means using apps and the internet on smartphones or tablets that run Android, iOS or even Chrome OS (in U.S. education), not Windows.
