Cue the spreadsheet (click to enlarge):
My take: And that’s without counting iPads.

“…does anyone here really believe in the accuracy of IDC data?”
Nope.
Apple grew 2X the market as whole.
No doubt Apple’s revenue share was higher, maybe 10% or more.
The big take away for me from this data is the statement above that repudiates the long held and espouse conviction by many folk who were convinced that the PC was dying. Far from its demise, I see continue growth in the PC ahead for the Mac in the coming months and years.
Lovely plumage, this Big Blue. …
We can expect a lot more from this Apple/TSMC hook-up in areas such as new memory technologies, and more.
HP’s recently reported quarter’s end Jan 31, 2021. Assuming similar revenue (IMO overestimating) for all of CY2021 Q1 here’s the numbers:
HP Personal Systems:
2020 CYQ1 11.722M units $ 9.892B rev ASP $843
2021 CYQ1 19.237M units $10.603B rev ASP $551 (more lower priced systems sold)
Apple Mac
2020 FYQ2 3.164M units $5.351B rev ASP $1691
2021 FYQ1 7.349M units $8.675B rev ASP $1180 (new Mac Mini, lower level M1)
2021 FYQ2 6.692M units (only ~9% drop from FYQ1). If we assume a slight 6% rise in ASP to $1250, estimated Mac revenue would be $8.365B.
HP at #2 earns $9.89B rev. and rises 7.1% to $10.6B YOY
Apple at #5 last year earns $5.35B rev and rises ~56% by revenue to $8.36B
HP/Apple in 2020 CYQ1 was 84% higher, for 2021 Q1, now only 26.7% higher.
Who is performing better?
Meanwhile Apple already has the M1 5nm Mac Mini/MacBook in hand and likely to intro the M1X enhanced Mac Pro/MacBook Pro series soon, already with overwhelming performance and power efficiency compared to any other chips out there. By year’s end, prototypes based on the TSMC 3nm process will be produced.
And as PED mentioned, we ain’t even talking about the iPad tablet market where Apple holds a commanding position on units, pricing power, AND revenue.
Again, who is (going to) perform better?
