What are you talking about, apple is definitely not in the lead sales volume wise. They are typically 4th or 5th. They are still 7-10 percent just like they were ten and twenty years ago.


Did I ever say they were leading in unit sales? Please don’t twist my words.

Apple of all companies has never been about mass volume, but instead higher revenue and profit per unit. It’s the same with iPhone compared to Android.

I’d much rather own a company with 1000 units sold at 10mil revenue over 100,000 units with the same revenue.

Your comment said that they are doing very well compared to other PC vendors. Plain and simple they are not. They exist.

HP is doing very well compared to mfgs named after a fruit. That is accurate.


Don't know why you're downvoted; Dell, HP and Lenovo all individually outsell Apple laptops. They spread their sales over many more models though so Apple wins on the most-sold-SKU metric.


I picked on Apple. That is against HN guidelines.

I'll double down though. The Dell developer editions are far superior than any MacBook
