Apple portables outsell Desktops

Apple continues to <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2222381,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K0000594">consistently sell more laptops than desktops,</A> even as a major iMac upgrade enabled desktop sales to achieve a temporary parity with mobile models in 2007. Apple CEO Steve Jobs proclaimed 2003 the "year of the laptop" and it wasn't long before sales of Mac portables hit a record high and numerically eclipsed sales of Mac desktops.

This trend has continued since then, with MacBook and MacBook Pro sales generally outpacing sales of Apple's desktop Mac Pro and iMac lines. "The last three 10Ks showed that Apple is selling more laptops than desktops," said Tim Bajarin, president of consultancy Creative Strategies.
