Though the analysis in this article I'm linking is disingenuous ( it compares Apple laptop+iphone+ipad+ipod sales to Windows laptop sales...) its graphs tell the story pretty clearly: http://ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2014/2/12/apple-passes-mi...

Look at the little sliver of black that represents Mac computer sales (looks like ~5m sales/quarter) and compare with the orange line that represents Windows computer sales (just under 80m sales/quarter).

Even if 100% of the Macs are laptops and only 10% (as a pessimistic guess) of the Windows machines are laptops, sales are still heavily in the Windows territory.
