Marco Macro,

Read the related article, dunce:

What part of the following don't you understand?

"Apple Mac surges as PC demand shrinks; 1 in 3 buyers plan to buy Apple Mac in next 90 days" - December 10, 2008

Is the market getting saturated? I got a couple Core 2 Duos sitting in my drawer.

Superior Being,

That presupposes that Marco Marco can read read English.

Right on, Superior Being!

Atom chips are cheaper than Core Duos and generate less revenue for Intel. So, revenue estimates can be down 23% while chip shipments can be flat or up slightly. We have seen PC shipments up the last couple months, as reported by several tracking firms. Of course, mfrs/oems could be running down inventories.

Marco Marco,

They did release a new machine, it's a 17" laptop. They've announce Snow Leopard, they are still moving forward. I for one will be buying a few newer machines as soon as Snow comes out because my older machines won't be able to run it. Until then, the newer machines I have work fine as do my older ones.

Flat? Maybe but flat sales is not the same as going down.

@Marco Macro:

I'd like to know from what crystal ball you pulled this out of: "It will survive but it won't be growing in 2009."

Please, prove your prognosticating prowess by actually predicting something correctly. It's been less than a full 7 days into the new year, and you already determined that apple will not be growing...WOW! I'm sure you have those lucky numbers, right?

@Marco Macro:

Ever heard of Bullwinkle and his infamous rabbit-out-of-a-hat trick?

Market Share Shift!

IF

"Intel now expects fourth-quarter sales of $8.2 billion, a decline of 23% year-over-year."

AND

Apple sales are holding or growing.

THEN

There is a huge market share shift in Apple's favor!

Have I missed something? I don't remember sales figures being released for November or December.

Considering the economic funk sweeping the world, Apple is better placed to ride this storm through to the future recovery than just about anyone. Money in the bank. No debt. Good product mix. Customer base with above average income. The major risk is its supply chain.

By who? I only see estimates, nothing from Apple.
