Gartner has released its latest guesstimate of computer sales for both worldwide and US quarterly sales. Apple gains in both sales and market share percentage as Windows PCs shrink overall. Lenovo shows strong growth in the US while showing a -4% drop in market share worldwide. That may represent the weakness in the China economy. Apple shows moderate US growth, but respectable 1.5% world growth, especially compared to all the losses of the PC makers except the 0.5% worldwide growth of Dell, despite only a 3.2% US growth factor. Keep in mind, these are ONLY guesstimates, especially where Apple is concerned as Gartner has no inside knowledge of Apple's Retail or Online store sales. — PING!

Well, I appreciate the ping, but unless you crave a bunch of riled-up (see "Surface Book") Windows fans coming here to trash Apple and mock your Apple-positive statistics from MacDailyNews, I think discretion is the better part of valor here. Hell, your own ping to the Apple list got beat by publius911 jumping in the slander Apple customers as perverts. No need to make it worse....

I'll wait for the Windows-positive tech press to see the Gartner figures and write articles about how Apple is doing well while PCs continue to tank.

The articles should be out any minute... Holding my breath.... Turning blue...

(Geez at least you'd think The Register would save my life... Maybe I'll post this one: PC shipments slump in Q3, thanks to free Windows 10 ... that ought to liven things up...)
