This year saw 25 percent more desktops, notebooks and tablets sold in the U.S. compared to last year, but it was not a pleasant one for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The company’s flagship MacBook computers were outsold by Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Chromebooks in the U.S., and the iPad lost market share to its Android and Windows counterparts, according to a new report from the NPD Group.
The data in the report, published by the New York-based market research company, showed that a total of 14.4 million desktops, notebooks and tablets were sold in the U.S. in 2013. Overall, Chromebooks and Android-powered tablets collectively had the biggest impact on this jump -- selling 1.76 million units -- from January through November of this year, while Apple’s MacBook and iPad lines lost market share during the same period.
