Apple becomes the first notebook PC maker

According to DisplaySearch, Apple became the largest manufacturer of notebook PCs in the world during the last quarter of 2010. The problem is that the study relies on data that are sure to be debated. Apple is used to rub the top 5 PC manufacturers in the United States. However, once we take the global figures, the company fell far behind.

The study by DisplaySearch has completely upset this by saying that Apple has 17.2% market share of laptops, which puts it before HP (15.6%), Acer (14%), Dell (9, 9%) and Toshiba (8.6%). DisplaySearch how he arrived at these figures? It simply combines the sales of tablets and laptops. Since the firm's competitors to Apple does not offer any consumer product, and sales iPad exploded during the holiday season, Apple ends up on top of a classification that usually escapes .

Obviously, the idea of including the shelves in the classification of laptops will not please everyone. It is a debate that is moreover found at the Mobile World Congress where Masayoshi Son, Softbank Capital G PD explained that he was no longer using his tablet and he has not touched a PC last twelve months.

His investment fund does more than iPhone and iPad its employees. It is a vision that Paul Otellini, PD G Intel did not share as it stated during the debates that consumers want multiple devices at once, thus separating the two products.
