As reported by ComputerWorld, Apple hit 14% share of the US computer market in February 2008, up from 9% in February 2007.

In part this growth was fuelled by the mid-month introduction of the MacBook Air, which accounted for ~20% of Apple's notebook sales. Year over year, Apple sales grew by 60%, compared to the industry as a whole's 9%. Is that type of growth sustainable?

This proposition will pay out S$100 if Apple collects 18% (or higher) share in the US computer market in any month in 2008.

Whatever method is being cited from NPD Group is what should be used when judging this prediction.

Comments

The news yesterday that Apple has hit 21% of US marketshare already is totally dubious. Need some real numbers, based on some facts.
