Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster has crunched the latest NPD sales figures and concluded that US sales of Mac desktops increased by 31 percent in January when compared to the same month last year



From TUAW:

Still, Munster notes that Apple has seen improvements in its shipments of the machines since the end of 2012. If you recall, Mac sales were down 17 percent for the quarter ending December 31, 2012. For its part, Apple has said that it isn't entirely sure it will be able to meet demand for iMac during its fiscal second quarter. It remains to be seen if the trend of increased sales will continue through the end of March or if this was just a jump created by initial orders being filled.
