Mac Sales still growing Ping!

Apple's September quarter Mac sales are ahead of consensus after July and August, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster says in a note today, based on analysis of NPD Group stats. Meanwhile, iPod sales are trending below estimates, but international growth and new iPod models will help.
Munster says NPD data from July and August show Mac sales up 7% year-over-year through August, while the Street is expecting 5% year-over-year growth for the quarter.
Back-to-school sales in the first two months of the quarter probably helped, but at least Apple could handle some deceleration this month and still meet expectations. (And Apple's international growth, not represented in NPD's figures, should help, too.)

I LOVE MINE..ALL 3 OF EM : )
I just bought a ThinkPad T400s. Best laptop ever!
Bump.
What did it cost you?
I’ve seen some alleged prototypes; have you heard anything on the supposed iTablet?
i too have seen the alleged prototypes... and all of them have probably been photoshopped by someone outside of Apple. I recall all the supposed prototypes of the iPhone that appeared in the blogosphere before the iPhone was announced, some as late as a week before the Macworld keynote address, and NONE of them looked anything like the real thing.
I think Apple IS working on one... but it will probably surprise us. I doubt they will call it the iTablet... I'm voting for the iPad... ;^)>
About $1750. Worth every penny.
Now you know how us Apple Mac buyers feel about the money we spent on our $1199 to $2499 MacBook Pro notebooks. "Worth every penny."
Except the equivalent Macbook Pro, at $1699, comes with a bigger screen, 33% more RAM, a 7 hour battery with a five year lifespan, and a faster processor. Oh, and it can run both OSX and Windows on the same machine.
:^)>
It also shows that the Apple pricing is more than competitive.
Uh, you’re wrong. My T400s has a higher end Core 2 with a 6MB cache that Apple doesn’t offer. You see, people who buy ThinkPads and other Windows PC’s can actually customize them. Does Apple offer a solid state hard drive? The specs of my ThinkPad far exceed the MacBook Pro. You have to take what Lord Jobs offers you. I like choice.
