Las Vegas isn’t typically thought of as a high-tech city, but according to a new ranking by a men’s magazine, the city is one of the top adopters of tablet computers.
In a “Metrograde” ranking by Men’s Health last week, Las Vegas came in at No. 12 on the list of the top American cities for iPads.
The ranking is based on tablet use and ad impressions from data analytics company Chitika along with the number of Apple and Best Buy stores per-capita, and the percentage of households that own tablets, notebooks or laptops.
Las Vegas got a B rating on the list.
Plano, Texas, came in at No. 1 with the only A+ grade. Silicon Valley’s San Jose, Calif., came in second, followed by San Francisco; Boise; Austin, Texas; Oakland, Calif.; San Diego; Durham, N.C.; Chesapeake, Va.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; and Charlotte, N.C.
At the bottom of the 100-city list were Toledo, Ohio; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Detroit; Baltimore; and Cincinnati.
