“Credit Suisse First Boston said PC hardware showed solid unit growth for August of 23% year-over-year, but added that revenue growth for the period was slow at just 2%,” David Ng reports for Forbes.
“The research firm said its top pick in the sector remains Apple Computer. ‘From a vendor perspective, Apple Computer was the clear winner, as overall units and revenue grew 93% and 66% year-over-year, respectively,’ the research firm said,” Ng reports.

Nearly 100% increase in hardware units = gaining marketshare. Anyone have stats on 2004 total units sold?
GOOOO Apple!
I thought there was a definate slow down with apple selling hardware!
In business when your green, your growing.
If your ripe, your rotting.
Look at SONY, M$, HP, IBM, they ripened and now they are rotting.
IBM sold their PC division, HP, Sony and now M$ are reorganizing/downsizing.
Tough times are ahead, more and more people will be unable to afford computers as they shift their spending to increased fuel and other costs.
The professionals and those a bit better off will be buying Mac’s.
Apple’s market-share may increase because of a decrease in PC sales, once Apple comes out with solid state Nano looking notebooks the bulky PC will look even more decrepit.
Not necessarily a gain if the market has grown by 101%.
But in this case I think it’s going to be a modest gain. A couple more years and the market share might be a lot more respectable. I certainly hope so.
Give me an A
Give me a P
Give me a P
Give me a L
Give me an E
What does it spell!
A P P L E
GOOOOOOOOOOO APPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
>definate > Definitely true.
Maybe its because google bought a lot of the computers. I heard they use mostly mac’s there
I actually get a kick out of talking to PC guys…they will consistently refer to Mac’s market share as 3% and in the past I’ve had to remind them that it was closer to 5% . It would be nice to see Mac’s numbers rise overall like this.

Google is a big Linux, at least all their servers are Linux
Apple should seriously think about a partnership of some sort with Google if they realy want to conquer the evil empire. That’s if Google want anything to do with Apple of course. But hey it’s not about who has more market share/who sells the most blah blah.. It’s about making a good quality product.
hiproductionsdotcom – PC users are ignorant of what’s going on in the Mac world. They just flat out ignore it.
Indiana, let it go.
It’s probably getting close to the time when Michael Dell should just sell the company, and give the equity to the shareholders.
Hywel, you drunken twit:
Re-read the article!
The PC industry unit sales grew 23%, Macintosh unit sales grew 93%. That’ s better than 4x unit sales growth!
Likewise, PC industry revenue growth was 2%, while Apple revenue growth was (doen’t say if that does or does not include iPods) was 66%. Thats 33x!
So I don’t know know where you came up with 101, unless you’re reading the label of that bottle of Wild Turkey 101 you and Rob Enderle have been sharing.
MW = view, as in Hywel & Enderle must view the world thru beer googles
When Apple MAc computer do only have 4% marketshare, bla bla, indeed. .. And 16% internet-traffic is MAc says more about the confidence MAc users have in their computer.
‘MacFan’ you’re such a nerd!
