| Oyvoyvoyv said: That's interesting. 20% of the laptops sold in the US are Macs. According to this site: http://www.systemshootouts.org/mac_sales.html, Mac had a 3.3% share of all computers (not only laptops) shipped worldwide, in the 1st quarter of 2008. The total shipped, was 2.3 million macs. The total for PCs with Windows, is somewhere around 65 million.
Down from here, I assume the numbers stay the same in September as they did in July/August. Now, for this article to have the same numbers as the site, it would mean that there was sold around 5 million, if not less, laptops in the U.S. I think that the USA is likely to be at around 1/3 of the worldwide computers sold. This means that, there were sold around 20-25M computers there.
And to my point, this would mean that only 1/4 to 1/5 of all PC sales (in the US) are laptops.

the world wide sales were put at 5% this last quater from what i had been reading, while toatel us sales were 10% with laptops coming in higher on a strong educational market. on top of that the american market is actualy in a slow down of hardware sales, most growth (outside of apple) has come from other countries, in particular developing ones, which is why though dell marketshare remains high they are losing money because of terrible margines. from what i have been reading if dell does not manage to increase its margines, they may be foreced to sell of or merge
