RBC Capital says that Apple is projected to shift 2 million Macintosh units in the current quarter, citing strong back-to-school sales, as Seeking Alpha reports.

RBC bases its prediction upon a survey of over 3,600 tech users (a 'technology adoption panel') and found 17% bought Mac laptops in the last 90 days, up from 12% in the previous quarter.

The firm also sees major growth for iPhone, as Apple prepares to launch the device internationally, with telecommunications carrier partners to be announced in September and unit shipments in volume commencing during calendar Q4 2007.

Also of interest is RBC's retail checks show that the iPhone has had little 'cannibalization' effect on the iPod.

RBC have maintained a 'buy' on AAPL and have an aggressive $175 price target, despite recent significant falls in the stock price. APPL is up to 123.41 on this morning’s trading.
