Apple surpases Gateway in unit shipments

A MacNN reader writes: "Not sure if anyone noticed, but Apple's unit shipments and sales in the most recent quarter beat Gateway. Gateway sold 645,000 units during the quarter while Apple sold 813,000 units. It should also be noted that Apple made money while Gateway did not. I'm not sure how often this happens, but it would seem that Apple has surpassed what the AP calls "the fourth largest computer maker" at least in the short term. This may bode well as a sales tool for Apple's education sales force where Gateway has aggressively pursued 'converting' Mac-based sites."

    Expect the forthcoming.

    Dell and Gateway to consolidate and take on HP/Compaq.

    It baffles me to see how Gateway can lose so much money when its R&D cost is next to nil.

    only 746,000?

    Apple's press release says that it sold 813,00 units during the quarter. An even better comparison against Gateway.

    "beleaguered"

    So when will Gateway articles start talking about "beleaguered computer maker Gateway" the way they used to talk about Apple?

    They deserve it

    I think I loath gateway more than Dell at this point and love it that they are sinking like a rock.

    I have no sympathy for unimaginative-no-development-havin-cow-singing-owner-ponytail-wearing computer makers.

    Now, to put that doof Steven the Dell punk in the crosshairs....
