When people have to buy a PC they will do so

There is some bad news for Apple in the latest Canalys figures - it is starting to look like when people want to buy a proper PC or laptop they will look elsewhere.

With increased demand from the pandemic, Canalys reports that US PC shipments were up 73 percent over the same period last year. With those soft of figures, Apple should have doubled its sales and been the number one seller of PCs.

However while it did have a good quarter with sales up 36 percent, it was surpassed by HP, which sold 11 million units in total with annual growth up an astonishing 122.6 percent. The Tame Apple Press has done its best to play down the figures saying that the first quarter tends to be a weaker one for Apple hardware following the holiday season. But that means that Apple’s main sales are not business but expensive toys that Satan er Santa brings rich kids.
