Apple's U.S. Notebook Marketshare up to 10.6%

The latest NPD Data as reported by MacDailyNews reveals that Apple has had significant year-over-year growth in their notebook sales.
Apple's notebook marketshare in the U.S. jumped up to 10.6% in Q2 2008. This is up from 6.6% in the year-ago Q2 quarter. Based on the chart, most of that marketshare was taken from Acer and Toshiba.
In absolute numbers, Apple has historically reached as high as 10.1% marketshare for a one month period in January of last year, but the year-over-year trend across a 3 month period still seems notable.

Just think with "new" versions and possibly more aggressive pricing how this could trend.

Up, up, up, and away!
Hopefully this will start to convince software developers (ok i'm currently thinking games) to begin Mac support. Maybe once the Apple market share reaches a certain critical point, they might decide its worth it to market games to Apple users too...

I was going to say the same thing. The thing is, the entire market is doing very bad.

Now if only Apple could make a "normal desktop machine" that most people would want they could move their desktop market share up too.

i agree, however the US economy is in a rut. So even though more people are interested in apple products its going to be hard to see a rise in their stock.
