Mac reaches 5% of computers worldwide

Calculations by analyst Charlie Worlf, consultancy Needham & Company, the third quarter should be much celebrated by Apple. For the first time in 15 years, the Mac comes with 5% of global PC market. It may seem little, but we're actually talking about the high point of the line of personal computers the company.

Overall, Mac sales grew 24.6% during the period, a number obtained thanks to the market in the Asia-Pacific and the corporate world. Considering Macs for personal use, there was growth of 25.6%. Since the professional use, the increase was 43.8% in the quarter.

The indicators contrast with the slowness of the global market for PCs The increase in computer sales was only 5.3%. It means that the Mac has grown five times more than the market.

The analyst points to the cannibalization in PC sales promoted by the iPad, the Apple tablet that replaces the conventional computer in various activities. There was a suspicion that the iPad 2 would decrease the sales of Macs, but what actually occurs is a drop in sales of machines running other operating systems - that is Windows, which continues to dominate.

O Mac continua crescendo e vendendo muito, mas nem por isso o OS X decola como antes. Segundo dados da firma Chitika, o Snow Leopard continua como OS X mais disseminado, em 56% dos Macs. O novíssimo Lion figura em segundo lugar, com 22% da base instalada de máquinas.

Lenovo has produced 12.5 million computers in the period from June to September this year, surpassing Dell, who built 11.3 million units. The numbers are from the research institute IHS, the Chinese company and put in second place among the world's largest manufacturers of computers, pushing the U.S. to third place Dell. Leading the ranking follows the HP, which scored 16.3 million PCs Acer maintained its fourth position with 9.5 million.

According to the assessment released to the press by Matthew Wilkins, an analyst at IHS, Lenovo's growth is explained by the high demand for PCs across China, the main market of the brand that was born in 2004, when IBM decided to abandon the production of personal computers was created in the 1970s.

According to Matthew, while the United States and Europe suffer from the economic crisis and live a time of growing interest in tablets, conventional computers remained strong in China, where, factories, Lenovo has an extensive distribution network. So much so that the Chinese threaten the HP, which has lost a good portion of their distributors in the country, given the uncertainty about the continuity in the personal computer market.

Overall, PC sales grew 2.6%, below the forecast rate in the period that includes June, August and September this year compared to the same months of 2010. The number is considered very shy, but it is still relevant: "any growth should be celebrated as a victory of the market due to the time of economic uncertainty and competition from alternative platforms such as tablets," said Matthew.
