I think that demand is a self-fulfilling prophecy...that those Macs are selling because they're all Apple is offering!
Maybe, but within Apple Mac sales have remained relatively stable in dollar volume increasing only a small amount since the first quarter of 2009 and that is in an overall computer market that has been falling at a rate of as much as 10% a year in both dollars and unit sales. This means Mac market share is steadily increasing over this same time frame. So Apple must be doing something right just to stay even much less improve.
To put things in the Apple corporate perspective, in 2009 Mac sales were about â…“ of total sales, the iPhone â…“, and the remaining â…“ iPod, services, and Other. Today Mac net sales account for 10% of Apple sales, iPad 9%, Services 12%, Other 4%, and
iPhone 65%. Apple is investing a LOT of money keeping Mac sales where they are instead of decreasing with the rest of the computer market. They are unlikely to be investing that kind of money in laptops if they didn't have to. But that is just my opinion.
