Comments on: Apple’s Mac to sell record 4.5 million units this quarter http://www.slashgear.com/apples-mac-to-sell-record-4-5-million-units-this-quarter-12179012/ Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions Sat, 12 May 2012 04:26:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Anonymous http://www.slashgear.com/apples-mac-to-sell-record-4-5-million-units-this-quarter-12179012/#comment-135830 Anonymous Tue, 13 Sep 2011 05:52:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=179012#comment-135830 sounds like alot to me, that is for the quarter, so maybe around 17-19 million macs a year? hp probably sells around 60 million pcs a year, so maybe around 4 times as many, but the problem is hps margins are so much lower than apples that apple probably makes more money off their mac sales than hp does on its pcs.  Which is sad, all the little kidies going off to school want a fresh new mbp or mba, the 1000 dollar plus segment is dominated by apple, I wish it was not so, but it is.  Apple has a massive halo around it that infects everything they make and distorts reality and perception of their entire lineup.

The only reason is that Apple makes unrivalled design and quality that PC manufacturers are struggling to keep up with. I think Asus makes the 2nd best and if their UX is cheap ill get that.

I’d be curious to see if ipod touch was actually up while low end models were way WAY down.

Also this years back to school promo was cash no “free” ipod…

I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail priices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use BïDFirst.com
