Apple’s Notebook Share Almost 5 Percent

posted in Apple (AAPL), MacBook |

The American economy and market has been suffering for quite some time now. This economic stress has had a direct effect on the worldwide notebook share, decreasing by 6 percent in the first quarter of 2008. Meanwhile, frequently bucking the trend, Apple saw a 60 percent increase year over year, which placed the company in the top ten of computer companies.

A data company called DisplaySearch, placed Apple at 7th place among computer retailers like HP, Dell, and Acer.

Also of particular note were Apple’s 7 percent and Samsung’s 15 percent [quarterly] growth. Apple’s entry-level notebook starts at more than $1,000, while Samsung, at present, only sells notebooks in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and greater China.
