10 % thats huge if you remember that the PC market is not owned by just one company but by HP, Dell, Toshiba, Acer, Gateway, Compaq and many other smaller companies
For laptop sales Apple rank 4th in the world
Toshiba 26.2 percent
HP at 23.9 percent
Gateway's 13.0 percent
Apple 9.9 percent
Compaq 8.5 percent
It seems that that next year Apple is forecast to increase its market share by 26% over this years 16% So that should mean their 10% will go to 12.5% overall worldwide market share. Even if you hate Macs its a great place to invest a few thousand $
