Macs topped the list of the most popular computers sold in U.S retail in October, Stephen Baker, NPD’s vice president of industry analysis, told
CNET. The revamped 21-iMac was the top-selling desktop for the month and the 27-incher took the number three spot.
The company also took the top spot in the notebook category in October, with the $1,199 MacBook Pro. Overall, Apple took four out of the top 10 positions for notebooks in U.S. retail for the month. In addition to the top-seeded MacBook Pro, Apple also captured positions eight through 10.
“Apple gets a bounce whenever they come out with new computers,” Bakertold CNET. “For the most part, October was a down month on the Windows side because [PC manufacturers] were working through inventory before the Windows 7 launch.”
