Apple Fastest Growing PC Company

Gartner pegs Apple’s current U.S. market share at 5 percent — a whopping 30 percent increase of the 4 percent figure estimated for the first quarter of 2006. According to the research firm, this makes Apple’s market share the fastest growing among PC vendors in the U.S, with Toshiba following closely at 26.8 percent growth. Dell, meanwhile, saw a 15.5 percent decrease in market share, though it retained its spot as top PC vendor in the U.S.

What about IBM/Lenovo? Are they really so small that they are subsumed under Others?

Something no one has pointed out yet in this analysis is that just a handful of years ago, Apple was sub-3% of the US market. Now, they’ve rebounded and are nearly double what they were just a couple of years ago.
And Apple’s share of the active installed base is likely even larger, since Macs don’t tend to obsolesce as fast as PCs.
