To some extent, Apple’s (AAPL) share of this market is growing by default. Companies like HP (HPQ), Dell (DELL) and Lenovo ship enormous quantities of PCs at price points between $500 and $750, whereas the only Macintosh that sells for less than $1,000 is the $599 Mini
When I first saw the title, this is the first thing that crossed my mind. Apple seems to be in the business of selling expensive computers. I'm not saying this makes their growing market share less valuable, just that it's less of a win then it might seem at face value.
Plus, like others have mentioned, this is only for B&M stores.
- Goronmon 18y agoHmm...is it just me or does is that comment fairly confusing? My point was that the overall growing on their market is definitely valuable to Apple, and the fact that they are in the market of selling expensive computers doesn't influence that value. However, it does reduce the value of using the a larger dollar value as a criteria for determining market share. If the overall market for computers greater than $1000 is shrinking, then selling more in that market is not as valuable as it was may have been. My tendency to use "it" in bad places really gets on my nerves sometimes.
