I think it’s a case of just more PC alternatives on the market as most people don’t want/need a tower but want a bigger screen than those found on laptops.

FYI Apple makes more from the iPad/iPhone and laptops than it’s desktops now anyway.

I’m not seeing the good news for Apple here. The all-in-one form factor is one they created and popularized, and now after creating and owning that market they only account for 33% of sales last year? I suspect Apple will quickly be surpassed by other vendors in the next couple of years, especially after Windows 8 becomes available and all-in-one touch screen machines will actually have a purpose.

According to a Digitimes article in 2010, Apple had a 50% market share of all-in-one desktops during 2009.

So this suggests that Apple have actually lost market share. To say that other manufacturers aren’t as successful in this market is technically true (as Apple still holds the majority share), however the wording is slightly misleading as Apple are actually losing market share (and have been over the past few years). At the same rate of growth, other manufacturers will overtake Apple over the next year or two.
