Although many Apple fans and analysts worry that the company's switch to Intel processors will put sales of current hardware on hold until updates, the evidence at the moment indicates no such stall. According to an it-analysis report, Apple still occupies five of the top six slots in Amazon's list of top selling computers, which is updated hourly. "This indicator showed no drop in demand following the Intel announcement. Of course, demand may diminish in the coming months, but I suspect that most buyers don't care too much about it either way." Regarding the so-called "halo" effect, "the prediction by Forbes that Apple will grow its PC market share from 3 percent to 5 percent this year, looks like it will be fulfilled." Moreover, "we can think of Apple as heading towards a 10 percent share of the home market."
