More Chromebooks than Macs sold in the US this month

Just yesterday we received a piece of news from the website The Verge, in which an IDC study on the computer sales in the United States. The truth is that these months are never usually good for the sale of Macs, since we have WWDC close by where the improvements for MacBook Pro and others are presented, but in this case what is really news is that for the first time Chromebooks outperform Macs in the country.

This is not an exaggerated difference but it is notable and that obviously must be commented on so that the guys from Cupertino can put the batteries in their Macs. The difference is: 1,76 million Macs sold vs. 2 million ChromebooksHaving said that, we also do not want to downplay the issue since the United States is where the firm has the most Mac sales, which is why we find it interesting that this little "slap on the wrist" comes at this time. When we are closer to WWDC, Apple has two open fronts ahead with Macs: their own cannibalization with iPads and increasingly fierce competition.

In this specific case with Chromebooks, it should also be noted that they take a lot of market thanks also to sales in schools, in Spain it is not something that we can compare or add in the sales box of one or another company, but in America it's a big piece of the pie and between the iPad and the Chromebook they are taking the cat to the water.

Without a doubt, we hope that Apple will get the batteries with the Macs and in the inaugural keynote of the WWDC held from June 13 to 17 surprise us. Even some media dare to say that the MacBook Pro that they present at this meeting for developers, may see their price drop a bit despite adding new processors and better features in general than current equipment. We will see what all this is ...
