 Notes:
 
 1. Figures for Apple are actual unit shipments for the periods, obtained from   investor.apple.com
 2. Figures for all other manufacturers are "preliminary estimates" from   IDC (08 Oct 2015)
 
 Note the last column comparing shipment growth against the same quarter that  I posted here ten years ago; this really shows your long-term winners (and Dell) in a way even year/year comparisons can't.
