Another thing those links show is

Last quarter Apple sold more iPhones than all vendors in the world selling computers, combined. For the second straight year.

Apple's 1st calendar quarter of 2017 computer sales, in context

Figures are for worldwide computer sales (in thousands):


Q1 2017 Q1 2017 Market Q1 2016 Market ShpGrowth ShpGrowth
Rank Vendor Shipments Share Shipments Share 2017/2016 2017/2005
------- --------------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- ---------

1 Hewlett-Packard 13,143 21.79% 11,621 19.39% 13.10% 84.85%
2 Lenovo 12,322 20.43% 12,121 20.22% 1.66% 427.26%
3 Dell 9,573 15.87% 9,017 15.04% 6.17% 9.69%
4 Apple 4,199 6.96% 4,034 6.73% 4.09% 292.43%
5 ASUS 4,121 6.83% 4,006 6.68% 2.87% N/A
All Vendors 60,328 100.0% 59,942 100.0% 0.64% 30.67%

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 (11 Apr 2017)

Note the last column comparing shipment growth against the same quarter that I posted here twelve years ago; this really shows your long-term winners in a way even year/year comparisons can't.
