According to a recent study conducted by Displaysearch, Apple market share for notebook in USA now reached 10.8 % for the 2008 Q2. Apple captured the fourth position behind Dell, HP and Acer, but in front of Toshiba.
This is a quite impressive increase for Apple as its market share a year ago was 6.6 %. However, such good results do not apply worldwide , and Apple is not ranked in the first 5 top position for EMEA zone. Apple might maybe think of changing its rather ridiculous currency rate between US$ and Euro in order to avoid having the rest of the word to pay for having Apple hardware to be priced so aggressively in USA.
