I wonder how much of this is related to the new MacBook keyboard.

Or Macbook/iMac prices. My desktop has been a Hackintosh for the last 7 years. When my 5-year-old Macbook Pro dies I'll be looking for a Hackintoshable PC laptop.

Really I'm responding to you and the GP, but based on the article:

> Gartner estimates that worldwide PC shipments grew 1.4 percent to 62.1 million units in Q2 2018. The top five vendors were Lenovo, HP, Dell, Apple, and Acer.

Apple is part of the market increase.

MacRumors highlighted Apple's numbers from the same report. They grew 3% YoY: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/07/12/mac-shipments-up-in-q2-...

Interesting that, while the rest of the market is still significant, it's shrinking pretty rapidly compared to the leaders.

The Apple numbers are always a useful reminder of what a bubble I'm in. While 7% isn't trivial, any event I attend has a lot of Macs (and more of the other laptops are probably running Linux than Windows).
