The well-known firm Gartner, shows a graph in which you can see the stability in shipments of Macs. This year it rose a position in shipments with respect to the Asus computer firm (during Q1) and all this means that the stability in the sales of the brand's computers compared to PCs is confirmed.
It is evident that the prices of the Mac do not help further growth in this market, since they are still expensive machines, but everything and with that the firm is one of the few that has noticed an increase in sales during this Q1 according to Gartner, with 4,26 million Macs sold compared to 4,16 million in the same period in 2017.
Mac sales grow 1,5 points this quarter
Analysts warn that the growth is small but important as not too many firms manage to do well in computer sales. The trend at Apple is still good and with a increase for the next quarter from 6,7% to 6,9% shows it.
The trend in the computer market is not good these days, iPads are taking a good part of Mac's potential customers and obviously the competition with much tighter prices continues to squeeze Apple in terms of sales, HP, Lenovo or Dell also show that small but interesting increase in shipments and this in general is good for the sector in general.
Estimates show that Apple's upturn in Mac sales is still positive but not exaggerated, what comes to tell us that without little effort the objectives of the brand are achieved, now they just need to put more meat on the grill with the Macs to really see a growth in sales, we will see all this during this year if it is They leave the entry model MacBook with a more adjusted price or the one that comes when the new Mac Pro arrives in the professional sector and possible design changes in the MacBook set.
