Fortune has compiled an average estimate for the number of Macs sold last quarter from professional and amateur analysts. At 12% the Mac is now Apple's third biggest money maker, after the iPhone at 52% and iPad at 20%.
Estimates indicate that after four quarters with year-over-year declines the Mac may have finally see some year-over-year growth.
Although a third of the 33 analysts we've heard from so far -- 13 amateurs and 20 Wall Street professionals -- think Apple will report another decline in unit sales next week, two thirds believe sales actually rose year over year. The average analyst's estimate is just over 4 million Macs, a 2.8% increase over the same quarter last year. The pros (at 4.1 million) are slightly -- but only slightly -- more bullish than the amateurs (4 million) this time around.
Apple has announced that it will release Q2 FY14 earnings on April 23, 2014.

I got a MacBook Air early this year and I could not be happier. It's a well built machine, and it does everything I need - better than a PC ever would.

I once owned PC and my experience has grown worse even with virus protection. Gmail problems to freezes. The minute I switched to MacBook Pro 15" retina I never looked back.
