Information Week headlines their article with “Apple Ties For Third In U.S. PC Market,” which is technically true, although the leader sold more than five times as many PC’s. It also points to Apple’s impressive 26.2% growth, calling it a “halo effect” from the iPhone and the iPod before it and mentioning those adorable “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads, but fails to mention Toshiba’s 50% growth and Acer’s 163.8% growth (both companies are within 75,000 units of Apple). Those two companies also cracked the Top 5 globally.
The bottom line here is that it’s still a two-vendor race between Dell and HP, both in the U.S. and Worldwide. Apple’s had a great year, but if they want to make a true dent in the PC market, they need to move out of the educational and Starbucks markets, and get into the big time.
