Apple drubs all rivals in U.S. system shipment gains
Do you like this story?
Both IDC and Gartner said Apple beat Acer, Dell, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Toshiba in the U.S. last quarter in the shipment-increase game.
According to IDC estimates, Apple shipped 2 million Macs in the U.S. during the quarter ending Dec. 31, an increase of 18 percent over the same quarter of 2010. Gartner’s number of 2.1 million was slightly higher, as was its 21 percent year-over-year gain by Apple.
All other computer makers in the top five shipped fewer machines in 2011 than they did the year before, IDC and Gartner said.
HP led the decline in both firms’ estimates, with its shipments declining between 25.3 percent and 26.1 percent, while Acer’s numbers fell between 11.4 percent and 14.4 percent from the year before.
The research companies blamed HP’s waffling over whether to keep or spin off its PC business for the company’s lackluster performance in the last three months of 2011, while Acer’s problem stemmed from falling sales of netbooks, the inexpensive, miniature laptops that had propelled it into the top five.
Apple’s estimated shipments in the fourth quarter accounted for about 11 percent of all computers that entered the sales channel, securing its third-place position in the U.S.
Although neither IDC or Gartner published projections for Apple’s global shipments, analysts believe Apple sold 26 percent to 28 percent more Macs worldwide last quarter than during the same period the year before.
If those estimates are accurate, Apple will set a one-quarter Mac sales record.
Apple will post its fourth-quarter earnings and sales numbers on Tuesday, Jan. 24.
