Remember HP was down 25% the quarter before so they came up 6.6% off of the down 25%. That means they were still down a bunch compared to former numbers. Apple is on the upswing every quarter. Due to price, Apple will probably never approach number one, but Mercedes will never be the biggest selling car maker either.

It’s actually HDD not HD. And the fact that people are buying less pcs are not so much because they are “waiting” but because the entire pc industry has been in a slump.

why is it called a “small miracle” if hp owns so much more of the market share anyway? seems like it should have been expected, no?

This Mac lover didn’t replace his obsolete MacBook because he can’t stand Lion.

At the same time PC customers are also waiting for the prices raised by HD shortagest to finally start going down.

Could HP’s increase be inflated buy the drop it saw in sales after the bungled move to offload the division was announced?

This quarter, many Mac buyers are waiting for the new generation of iMacs and MacBook laptops to ship.

It could be that Apple’s sales growth slowed a bit due to the pending updates to the Macbook Pro line, which seems to be not a very well kept secret.
