Apple kicks butt, takes names in October desktop and laptop retail sales beating PC | |

Boo-ya! Apple took the top honors in terms of desktop and laptop retail sales in the U.S. in October, according to market research firm NPD Group. As reported on CNET, the iMac line (refreshed in October) and laptops occupied some of the top slots in the list. During the month of October, the new 21.5-inch iMac was the best-selling desktop computer, with the awe-inspiring 27-inch model in third place. Stephen Baker, who is NPD's vice president of industry analysys, told CNET that Apple was helped by a rather dismal month for Windows desktops, since retailers were pushing existing inventory prior to the launch of Microsoft's Windows 7. In the laptop list, the 13-inch MacBook Pro model was the number one seller, with three other MacBooks filling the number 8, 9, and 10 spots for October laptop sales. NPD's numbers are pulled from online and retail store sales figures, but don't account for direct sales from the manufacturer to consumers. | ||

| An analyst from NPD told someone at CNET some things about computer sales in October 2009. No data is provided to support the claims in the article. Even if true, show me the money, or unit sales, something other than someone said something to someone else. |

| Apple computers are PC's. They just run a different OS and cost a whole lot more. |

| And look cooler (I know, subjective). |

#29: DIsclaimer I do not have and I am not interested, at least forr the time being, to buy an Apple system.
Of course Apples are PC's as well as Dell etc. but also Porsche and Ford or Fiat are cars........ |

| #31: That analogy would work if Apple manufactured most of the parts that go into their systems. The fact is that the Apple engine is the same one that comes with the Chevy Malibu. |

Not really: Aston Martin, Lincoln Town Car and Ford Thunderbird share some elements still an Aston Martin is an Aston Martin.

| Ah, I think I'll pass on the Porche with the Ford engine. I'll also pass on the Apple with the same Intel engine as Dell and HP and Gateway and {Fill in the blank}, yet costs 2-3 times as much. |

If you want to send the Porsche to me I am more than willing to pay all shipping costs....
As for Apple they surely sell for a Premium price; said that I would love to have the ability to sell our products at a Premium price too, unfortunately I do not have it. We can debate as much as we want but no matter what, a company being able to sell a product at Premium price is a company managed by smart people. |
