Remember, these are IDC's naval gazing, wild-assed guesses. . . and we really don't know what Apple's real Mac sales numbers are until Apple announces them on July 21st in their 2nd Quarterly Financial Conference Call.

IDC has released its last quarter computer shipment guesses and says that Apple Macs have increased over 16% year-over-year while the overall PC market has declined 11%. PING!

People complain about Apple, yet Lenovo shipped twice as many computers and all the profit is Chinese. No one should be buying that Chinese stuff (including Motorola phones). At least Apple is an American company. Excerpt from Wikipedia about Lenovo headquartered in Beijing:

"Lenovo was founded in Beijing in 1984 as Legend and was incorporated in Hong Kong in 1988. Lenovo acquired IBM's personal computer business in 2005 and agreed to acquire its Intel-based server business in 2014. Lenovo entered the smartphone market in 2012 and as of 2014 is the largest vendor of smartphones in Mainland China. In January 2014, Lenovo agreed to acquire the mobile phone handset maker Motorola Mobility from Google, and in October 2014 the deal was finalized."

In the months before the release of a new version of Windows, sales always drop. That says nothing about the long term growth of the market.
