As is routine towards the end of a fiscal quarter Gartner and IDC last week issued numbers estimating Mac sales in the United States.
Gartner estimates that Apple shipped 1.572 million Macs, representing growth of 6.8% year-to-year, giving the company an 8.8% market share amongst computer manufactures in the U.S.
IDC estimated slightly higher numbers, 1.64 million Macs, up 11.8% year-to-year for 9.4% market share.
Later today Apple will announce the true worldwide sales figures for Macs.
