<p>The 2013 Holiday CE Purchase Intentions gathered its data from a nationwide survey of 2,500 US broadband households in the fourth quarter of 2013. Though the survey doesn't differentiate between types of desktop computers, it's reasonable to assume that it's the new iMac -- and not the new Mac Pro -- that is appealing to consumers this holiday and the reason Apple has overtaken Dell for the first time.</p> <p>Apple also beat out others in two more important categories. The iPad topped the Kindle for the most sought-after tablet, and the Apple TV beat the Roku for the top media-streaming device.</p><p style="padding:5px;clear:both;">Apple's desktops overtake Dell as most sought-after PC for the holidays (http://www.tuaw.com/2013/12/05/apples-desktops-overtake-tell-as-most-sought-after-pc-for-the-h/) originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (http://www.tuaw.com) on Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:00:00 EST.
