The latest figures by Canalys also counted Apple iPads as PC s, thereby, increasing the company's total PC sale.

According to the Tech Crunch, Apple recorded 19.5 percent of all PC sales or fewer than 31 million units.

Meanwhile, Canalys said that PC shipments would have declined 7 percent compared to Q4 2012, but with the inclusion of tablets as PCs, sales shot up by17.9%.
