Apple Sells One Laptop in Seven

According to industry reports, Apple's is now the fourth leading company on the laptop sales ladder, selling one in seven laptops, in the US alone. The company has seen a 14% increase from last month, while the desktop market awaits the rumored new iMacs.



The same research company, NDP, has announced that behind Hewlett Packard, Toshiba and Gateway lead the laptop sales roster. NPD collects its sales data primarily from retail point-of-sale sources, and excludes most online and all direct sales.

Analysts also noted that while desktop sales are declining, Apple's desktop computers' sales figures have declined a little less than others. Apple's desktop machines the all-in-one, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro accounted for 10.4% of all desktop sales in May 2007.
