dell netbooks: Apple sells 11 percent of all US computers last quarter, takes third place

14.07.11 Apple continues to outdo in a softened PC market that is shifting toward cloud computing and media tablets, according to the latest PC buy share analysis from Gartner and IDC. Apple nabbed as good as 11 percent market share in the US during the sec quarter of 2011, even as overall shipments were down year over year. Acer continues its just out downward spiral as netbook demand has dropped, in the long run to the benefit of Dell and Lenovo. The US PC market was down significantly during the next quarter compared to the previous year. "Confirmed the hype around media tablets such as the iPad, retailers were very hidebound in placing orders for PCs," Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa said in a proclamation. " IDC also noted that netbook sales, a quondam driver of consumer PC sales in 2009 and near the start 2010, have continued their rapid decline. The brightest place in the US for the second quarter was Apple, grabbing 10. That's certainly a rescue: after breaking the 10 percent share obstruction in the third quarter last year , Apple slid down a bit earlier this year.
