The numbers aren&#8217;t impressive overall, and historically Apple has never held a huge chunk of the market, but this new statistic is actually an increase.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIt might have something to do with what I would like to call &#8220;more reasonable&#8221; pricing for its computer line.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has always charged a premium for its product. On paper, comparing a Mac to a PC gave anyone the impression that Apple was price-gouging. Perhaps, but people still loved their Macs. With support and a relatively malware-free and well-working operating system, I&#8217;d have to tip in favor of the Mac. I do recommend them to some people.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this is good news for Apple. And I hope it makes the board realize that they sell more than mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2014\/10\/08\/apple-fifth-largest-global-pc-vendor\/\" target=\"_blank\">MacRumors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MacRumors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wambooli-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6857"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6857\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6859,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6857\/revisions\/6859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
