Apple’s computer market share has been steadily increasing over the past years as more and more frustrated Windows users make the switch, but as Seth Weintraub writes for Computerworld.com, this week “the Mac platform finally has a big win in its hands.” Apple has finally beat out Dell as the number one computer in higher education.
At last week’s Goldman Sachs Technology Investment Symposium, Apple’s Tim Cook revealed “we just received word on Monday that Apple surpassed Dell as the number one supplier of portables to US higher education for 2007,” adding, “the ceiling for the Macs is nowhere in sight. Even if the market itself isn’t growing, for us, switching Windows users is an enormous opportunity.”
Apple was the main educational computer until the 1990s, when Dell’s acceptable and cheap computers became a better economical choice for schools.
