Apple Mac take 14% market share in US in February

Apple might be the dominating manufacturer of digital media players but they are performing well with their Macs too.

Market research firm NPD has stated in a report that the company had a 14% market share of the retail U.S. PC market in terms of sales.

The share for value was around 25%.

The sales of Apple notebooks and desktops were up 64% and 55% respectively. The revenues in these two segments went up by 67% and 68% respectively compared to the same period in the previous year.

Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves had this to say on Apple Computers: “MacBook Air sales appear to be additive to total sales, rather than replacing MacBook Pro sales. We believe a new set of corporate customers make up a meaningful portion of MacBook Air buyers.”
