I took it up with you. If you don’t know what your posting stay out of the topic.

Then I stand behind everything I said, with quotes going back to everything I referenced, be they from other sources, "stay out of the topic" I could tell you what you really are but the Mods would penalize me. Hey hoe tough guy.I took it up with you. If you don’t know what your posting stay out of the topic.

I just posed a theoretical question but OK; in your example I'm guessing you're siding with Apple's "more profit, less market share" ideology. Yet your example ( 4 million + 15 million = 19 million ) puts Apple, or the less market-share example let's not split hairs, at 21.05% market-share to make their 100% profit.
Apple doesn't have 21.05% of the PC market.

You make absolutely no sense you don’t explain why your adding figures together, blame another poster, feign ignorance then play the victim.
Another Apple suxx narrative that doesn’t amount to anything more than an incoherent mess.
Great addition to the thread.![]()
The sad part is that despite all the hype about the Macs, Apple's PC market share increase is the last two decades is rather insignificant. Macs remain a niche product.
You are mixing up profit with turnover!At one million units compared to ten, economies of scale can have a significant impact on production cost and therefore profit per unit.
If I sell 10 machines that cost me $100,000 each to produce, I make $1 million in profit (10 x $100,000).
If I sell 1 million machines that cost me $10 each to produce thanks to economies of scale, I still make $1 million in profit (1,000,000 x $1). And if it only costs me $5 each to produce, then I make "only" $500,000 in profit (1,000,000 x $.50).
You are mixing up profit with turnover!
Can't wait for the new Lenovo P52 to get configurable options.
So much better than the trash Apple is putting out now days. Congrats on hitting 32GB of ram 6+ years after Thinkpads were able to do that (you can do 64GB ECC or 128GB Standard now).
I miss Apple Computer. RIP.

Kind of brings into focus why satisfying Mac users isn't a huge concern for Apple anymore. Even if they killed off the product line and every Mac user jumped ship exchanging their Macs and iPhones for Windows and Android it would barely register a blip. Heck they sell about as many watches as Macs these days.
Meaning what? That the vast majority of users prefer Windows?Which implies those who buy Macs do so more for macOS rather than the hardware itself.
No the comps keyboards just crap out all by themselves.No, because nobody else makes a keyboard that can be completely crippled by a speck of dust...
Wasn't it Jobs himself who said we are in the post PC era.hopefully all the people who keep pushing iPads and iPhones down our throats (Tim Cook first)
by saying that the PC is dying will stop saying this nonsense
people want to work looking at bigger screens and with faster expandable/upgradable computers
not iPad and iPhones with tiny screens
Let's see. For 2017 sources report that the Macs accounted for... $25.850 Billion which would slot the Mac division in at number... 424 on the list.While the revenues are a shadow of what iOS brings in, Mac is still a Fortune 500 company (maybe even 400) on it's own.
This forum focuses on the negative, but there is still a fair bit of positive to be had for Apple and the Mac which is why they have not - and will not - kill it.

Must be laptops, only a blinkered fool would buy today's Mini. Sales of iMacs and iMPs are a rounding error in the overall numbers.

Per Apple's own statements, laptops make up 80% of all Mac sales with the current generation MacBook Pros being the most popular laptop model sold. Desktops make up the remaining 20% with iMacs over 90% of that, then Mac Pros and the Mac Mini coming in last (both of the latter in the low single digits).

And probably almost all of it at the lower end of the market considering that in Q1 2018 HP's personal computing division (so just desktops and laptops - nothing else) made around 27% more revenue than Apple's Mac division (so again, just desktops and laptops - nothing else) on 270% more sales
Where is my Mac Pro ?
If you actually wanted a Mac Pro you would surely know they’re coming in 2019.
As usual Macrumor's giving great emphasis on the Mac. But the reality, considering data is right, is clearly shown in the figures.
Lenovo 20.1% -> 21.9%
HP 20.9% -> 21.9%
Dell 15.6% -> 16.8%
Apple 7.0% -> 7.1%
Dell and Lenovo are gaining a lot more traction (9.5% and 6.1% growth respectively compared to Apple's 3.0%)
