Yeah, b ut the question is...would I be able to figure out a five button, scrolling ball, mouse? LOL

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see where they claimed that Apple was the 4th most popular BRAND. That would put them higher in sales than quite a few majors. 4th most popular class/type, for sure.

In Laptops, anyway, I saw a figure the other day that stated the ranking was...

Dell
Hp/Compaq
Gateway/Acer
Lenovo

And Clevo, BTW, the number one whitebox/ODM. Of course, Clevo makes machines for all in the above list, their own, and others, too.

Apparently your list from the other day has been superseded. 2nd Paragraph of the Metadata report:

“Like the camel slipping its nose under the tent, Apple is reaching into American households as the 2nd or 3rd Home PC,” said Dan Ness, Principal Analyst at MetaFacts. “Where Apple shines is as the 3rd PC, ranking fifth with 8% of 3rd Home PCs, and ranking fourth in notebook PCs, also at 8% of the installed base.”
