Apple, worth more than Dell, outselling Dell

February 4th, 2006 · No Comments

So Apple is worth more than Dell now, and sells more in the EU – at least when it comes to education. You make think this is no big deal, that Apple has always been big in education. You’re wrong. Apple was once, but the PC took that market like it took every other market. Outselling the largest PC manufacturer in the world is pretty impressive going.

“According to a report from Macworld UK, Apple has confirmed it has taken the number one spot in the Western European education market. The company’s education market share in the region is now 15.2 percent, placing Dell, with 14.7 percent, to second place. Gartner analyst Isabelle Durand confirmed: ‘During the fourth quarter 2005, Apple became the number one PC vendor in the Western European Education market. The company has continued to grow very strongly (+22.4 per cent) and achieved a 15.2 per cent of market share in Q4 2005.’”
