Flukes and seasonal variations happen.
The story you linked showed what big news it was when notebooks outsold desktops for a full month for the first time.

As in back to school, there are probably months in which notebooks sell comparatively better than other months.


Quoting:
Occasionally, notebooks have outsold desktops, but those moments happen during a one-week period and are usually the result of extremely heavy promotions, Current Analysis said. May marks the first time notebooks have outsold desktops over the course of a full month, the firm said.


We're not disagreeing about your point that notebooks are still doing well. It's not necessary to exaggerate.
