It’s a nice little business for Apple despite the moaning here.I don't think Wall Street has said Mac is dead in the last 5 years. It's stable and inline with expectations. Nothing really note worthy relative to the industry overall.

People will understand in terms of usability.The M1 has only been out for over a month or so. Keep in mind that Apple has millions of customers and many of them are not necessary "tech heads" that keep up with processors or even visit forums.
I think literally everyone understands your hard hitting analysis. It just is what it is. No one said the growth will continue forever.It's amazing how some people don't understand the industry and or the specific buying cycles but still report inaccurate info. The increase in sales has nothing to do with the holiday season!!! The increase in sales across the board is due to the Pandemic and the need for people to work remotely, for students to engage in distance learning in hope of keeping additional people from getting sick. Please study your facts before reporting. Schools are buying equipment across the country in the 10's of thousands at a time so they can provide disadvantaged students the ability to still engage in learning....
Yes, I'm interested how the new mobile cpus will perform compared to M1 chip. I'm sure the next gen of M1 will outperform everyone again and so on, they cycle of catching up with Apple.Wonder what caused Lenovo sales to spike and if it's reputation or something more tangible.
Anyhow, looking forward to AMD mobile 5000U announcement tomorrow 1/12/2021. Dell XPS laptops look nice but probably stick with tried and true Lenovo.
Correct but what I'm saying is people can't attribute Apple's good quarter to the M1. That would suggest that the M1 has made news all the way to the average consumer who doesn't follow tech sites or tech news. These people represent the majority of Apple's customers. It would take at least 24 months of M1 penetration and mega news for people to know that the M1 rocks. COVID is the reason why any of these computer manufactures have had a good year/quarter.People will understand in terms of usability.
People don’t know why they like iPhones, but a huge reason is the silicon makes them a joy to use. Fast, reliable, secure, supported, and works well for years without dropping performance.
Same will be true for the computers with M chips. They will just feel better and people will buy them.
HP makes very good workstations. If you are a professional CAD user they are a solid choice.I’m often amazed how many people still buy Hewlett Packard computers. Is this 2021 or 1998?
yes, agree...people can understand double the battery life, no more burning heat and all for the same price....so i agree that even grandpa can understand thatPeople will understand in terms of usability.

still, there are Dell Precision,MSI , Lenovo, Asus ProArt StudioBook Pro line....HP is the last...they heat a lot, the display are no longer that great...and yes, i am also curios why a lot of people still buy HP....and lets not mention that the majority of HP sells dont come from workstationsHP makes very good workstations. If you are a professional CAD user they are a solid choice.
And how do you propose they know about this BIG battery life and no more burning heat when the majority of Macs still being sold are Intel machines? It requires time and a lot of market penetration. You and the other poster are thinking only as a forum poster and not real life. People on forums tend to be in the know but Macrumors forum members and other forums represent less than 1/10th of a percentage of Apple's customer base. You have to think realistically about this. The M1 is not the reason for Apple's good quarter. That would even make any sense because it hasn't been out much more than a month or so.yes, agree...people can understand double the battery life, no more burning heat and all for the same price....so i agree that even grandpa can understand that
People will buy and even the casual windows users will switch thanks to those 2 big things that makes a great laptop a great laptop...big battery life, no more heat and performance, in this order for casual user
word of mouth is an powerful weapon....people will buy them....count on it...And how do you propose they know about this BIG battery life and no more burning heat when the majority of Macs still being sold are Intel machines?

I'm speaking in terms of a desktop class work station. The only two of the above mentioned I would even consider would be a HP Z2 / Z4 or a Dell Precision class. I use HP as the cost was decent as was the warranty and user reliability reports. I use Dell for my monitors which I also use with my Mac Minis (M1, i3 & i5).still, there are Dell Precision,MSI , Lenovo, Asus ProArt StudioBook Pro line....HP is the last...they heat a lot, the display are no longer that great...and yes, i am also curios why a lot of people still buy HP....and lets not mention that the majority of HP sells dont come from workstations
If you take a good look at my last post you'll realize you just said exactly what I said, in different words. Word of mouth, spreading thew news, Apple removing the Intel models....yes! As I said it takes market penetration. You just said what I said. What I also said that it's impossible for the M1 to be the reason Apple had a good quarter as it's been out just over a month. If you think in just over a month (and some people are still waiting for deliveries of this new product) enough people knew about the M1 to give Apple an amazing quarter then I'm highly recommending that you take a course of business 101 because things don't work that way. If you refuse to acknowledge what I'm saying then I'm done here because there's no reasoning with you.word of mouth is an powerful weapon....people will buy them....count on it...
1) Apple marketing
2)people spreding the news
3) apple remove the intel ones , you cant buy a new intel macbook air for ex
Those 3 combined will make the arm Macs selling better over the years....by the end of 2021 mac with arm will be sold even better....dont expect to penetrate a lot the PC industry...but still, the mac sells will be far better by the end of 2021 then it was in 2018-2020
Businesses still buy them. HP have their Pavilion range for gaming.I’m often amazed how many people still buy Hewlett Packard computers. Is this 2021 or 1998?
Servers are big business, even for small businesses.I’m often amazed how many people still buy Hewlett Packard computers. Is this 2021 or 1998?
Cough cough, said Mr. Strawman.Look how stable Apple’s Mac business has been over the years.
Despite people proclaiming the Mac is dead because of some minor issue, it just keeps chugging along.
True.I don't think Wall Street has said Mac is dead in the last 5 years. It's stable and inline with expectations. Nothing really note worthy relative to the industry overall.
True. I'm guilty of doing more than my share of moaning, but the purpose is to push Apple forward. I believe Apple is the best of the bunch but that's not an inherent right. Instead it's a title earned by dedication that in recent years has shifted toward iOS and away from MacOS.It’s a nice little business for Apple despite the moaning here.
Very true. Here in Japan they and Lenovo are also the most common options available for consumers, as well.HP makes very good workstations. If you are a professional CAD user they are a solid choice.
Not strawman....it’s just high level, Mac is doing well and things like Butterfly Keyboards and small software bugs aren’t hurting sales like people here believe.Cough cough, said Mr. Strawman.
True.

In fact, if I do get a new M-series iMac or Mac Pro, I'll likely have to get a burner Windows machine to run 32-bit Windows apps that I regrettably still need to occasionally run (for work). That machine may be HP, simply because they're cheap and dependable.
