Apple claims iMacs are outselling PCs


iMac sales have never been higher then PC sales. In fact the number of iMacs sold worldwide has always been tiny compared to that of the PC.

But now, Apple claims that this is no longer the case. According to Apple, iMac sales are now growing three times as much as PC sales. Granted, the growth rate is based on percentages, and there are far more PCs out there than iMacs. However this result still marks quite a milestone in Apples history.

And Apple appear to be heading for yet another rosy fiscal fourth quarter, with sales of iMacs and iPhones tracking way ahead of expectations. The release of the new desktop just in time for ‘back to school’ buying has definitely helped with this trend, as has the recent spurt of share gains from those who have switched from PC.

This ‘back to school’ buying period is only topped by the usual Christmas rush which is expected to be a good one for Apple this year.

The new iMac is apparently the best all-in-one computer that Apple has ever produced, meaning the monitor and the CPU are already integrated. It is made up of a single piece of aluminum with no screws. The new keyboard is also just one-third of the original size of the previous version. The new iMac line comes in 20- and 24-inch widescreen displays in professional-grade aluminum and glass enclosures and is powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors and has a built in video camera for video conferencing. The ultra-thin aluminum Apple keyboard is also just 0.33 inches thin at its front edge.

The Apple iMac is available only for $1199.99.
