Gartner marketshare data shows a bushel of Apples

Gartner marketshare data shows a bushel of Apples: "

Filed under:

The numbers are preliminary, but Gartner's analysis of the US personal computer market for the 1st quarter of 2008 shows some remarkable market expansion year-over-year for Apple. With a 6.6% share of the US market (behind Dell, HP and Acer), Apple shipped over a million Macs in the quarter and had 32% growth in unit sales, far outpacing the 3% growth of the overall market and blowing past sales leader Dell's otherwise stellar 15% growth.

Gartner's report notes that 'Apple enjoyed strong retail sales, and there were indications that Apple showed decent growth in the professional market as well.' Someone's got to be buying all those machines!
