Not only is iMac the most beautiful computer around, it is, as of this holiday season, the hottest and fastest selling cpu around.
Apple Computer's iMac consumer computer was the number one selling PC through retail and mail order channels during the 1998 holiday season (October through December 1998), according to PC Data's December Retail/Mail Order Hardware Report. The iMac accounted for 6.2 percent of all unit sales in the fourth quarter, as well as 7.2 percent of the dollar volume. The average price for the iMac was approximately $1,224 during the quarter.
"Not only was iMac the leading SKU during the holiday buying season, but it is the only product to break into the top five best-selling PCs for five months straight," said Stephen Baker senior hardware analyst at PC Data. "Despite falling from the top spot in November to number three in December, the iMac was the number one selling PC since its mid-August introduction, capturing 6 percent of total unit sales during that period, in addition to leading overall sales in the fourth quarter."
