A recent NPD report showed that Apple jumped almost two percentage points in U.S. notebook sales during mid-spring. This brings the total to 14.3% market share, which places the Cupertino-based company in fourth place, behind several notebook giants like HP, Gateway and Toshiba.

This jump also reflects the changing nature of Mac users; Apple is now selling more and more notebooks compared to desktops. The recent update to the 13.3-inch MacBooks when down well with consumers, resulting in a sharp increase in sales of the new models. This puts Apple’s sales at 65% year over year, compared to approximately 37% for PC manufacturers.

Apple’s desktop share remained virtually the same, however.
