The analytical company IDC has told about new achievement of Google. Chromebooks — devices under control of the Chrome OS operating system developed by her — at last have bypassed in popularity Apple Mac computers in the USA. The senior analyst-researcher of IDC Leann Huang (Linn Huang) has reported to the The Verge resource about a new milestone. "Chrome OS has outstripped Mac OS in the USA from the point of view of deliveries for the first time in the first quarter 2016 — Leann says. — Chromebooks still prevail in K-12 education system".
By estimates of IDC, delivery of Apple Mac to the USA have made about 1,76 million pieces in the first quarter, and total realization of chromebooks of the Dell, HP and Lenovo companies has reached 2 million units. Chromebooks are extremely popular at the American schools, and it, according to analysts of IDC, is the main driving factor. The situation with sales of chromebooks outside the USA remains not clear. The majority of research firms, such as IDC and Gartner, are concentrated on achievements of Google in the market of the USA.
Undoubtedly, the event, sign for Google, will irritate Microsoft against the current decrease in deliveries of the personal computer in the world market. At the same time IDC predicts "moderate restoration" of the market in the next months thanks to transition of some IT clients to Windows 10 and surge in sales of chromebooks to the USA.
