you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Apple’s laptops sales are decreasing. And most Mac users can’t tell the differences between Intel, the M chips, AMD or whatever. They just know that there’s a pretty apple on the back of their laptop and that’s why they buy it.
Right now. But that’s because the M1 and M2 Mac sold like hot cakes and we’re at a quiet stop in the product timeline. They pick right back up when the new models drop.
This is silly. The M1 models were leaps and bounds better than the Intel predecessors. That’s not all due to the ARM chip, but list a “MacBook Air 2020” for sale and watch the Mac heads stumble over each other to ask “intel or m1”.
People generally tend to stick to one ecosystem because of lock in effects, such as investment in apps etc, but that’s equally true in the windows world. I’m not sure I would classify Mac users on the whole as tech illiterate though. Most know exactly what they are getting and why.
And they are also A LOT of Mac users that just want a decent Unix machine and sturdy, capable hardware.
So you agree that it’s mainly Apple stans buy in whenever a new Mac drops, and hasn’t been able to really influence non Apple stans.
That’s what the poster above you said. Apple stans buy in because they’re a cult, so of course their sales will increase once a new mac drops.
The same was true for every other manufacturers during covid as everyone was bound to work from home and needed a laptop, but nobody seems to mention that
No, I very much do not. M1 laptops have drawn in a lot of new users, simply because of the battery life and performance.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. There are a lot of factors that influence purchasing decisions. It’s expensive equipment and people try to decide whether it’s worth spending cash on. Apple users are not made of money.
Yes. So?
Market share of ARM laptops skyrocketed from 0% to almost 10% overnight regardless. That’s the topic right?
