That's about where you're going to find them since 3/4 of Macs being
sold are the laptops. The Mac desktop market keeps shrinking.


No, their desktop market is growing, just not as fast as their laptop
market.


For over 20 years I have been observing, "next year" was going to be the
"year of the mac", nothing has changed in that arena, in a LONG, LONG time!

I don't think you or I will live long enough to see the 'year of the
mac' if that is defined as Apple being the dominant tech provider. Not
going to happen.

But the 'year of the Mac' has already happened in the upscale tech
market with consumers with a few bucks.

Yes, I am sure many are heroes in their own mind, have saved the world,
dominate the markets ... and it would be evil to destroy their fantasies

In business, the reality is growing your sales and profits. In that, it
has been the year of the Mac for quite awhile now. You are free to talk
about what volumes of sales are out there in wintel/linux world, but
that is being done at pathetic profit levels.

Overall, desktop sales on all platforms is down as more go to laptops.
Primarily because laptops now have enough performance for almost all
applications and the prices are down quite a bit. Heck for all the
bitching about Apple's prices, laptops with similar specifications and
build quality are all pretty much the same in cost.

Apple just doesn't do cheap laptops.

Which is why Apple sells only a small fraction of the number of laptops
sold. PC dominates over Mac even in the laptop market

At such a low profit margin that HP, one of the biggest in the biz is
seriously looking at dumping wintel desktop/laptop production and sales.

Apple has been making all the right moves these days. Good products
that are very popular at a price point that makes them great profits. A
success by any measure except for the 'market share at any cost' types.

They literaly own the tablet market at the moment. But will they own
the desktop/laptop market? Nope, there will always be a market for a
low priced product.

Shows they overprice their goods....

Not exactly a positive thing from the view point of anyone looking at buying
their products.
