A false media narrative. Apple will sell millions of MacBook Pros. Microsoft will be lucky if they even sell a million of the very cool-looking but niche Surface Studio.
- mamcx 10y agoNo. This is about the "PC Event". Is patently clear MS have the upper hand and Apple was a huge letdown with the biggest backlash of the century so far (from the PRO crowd). This is not about sales, but perception. Even when WinTel (before) sell way more than Apple, Apple get the "cool" vibre. This was not. And this is not as before, where the typical gloom and doom about Apple was declared.
- eridius 10y agoThere's always backlash from the self-proclaimed "pro" crowd about Apple's events. So many people can't get past the idea that Apple's aiming at the general public, not at their little power-user niche, and so they declare that Apple has "lost its way" or are otherwise putting out bad products, even though they'll sell them by the butt-load since, ya know, they're aimed at the general public and the general public will buy them.
