The MacBook (not sure of the differential vs. the Pro) has held the crown of "most popular laptop model" for years and years now, a fact Apple used to advertise somewhat heavily. I've always thought that a big determining factor there is that Apple's laptop competitors generally have a dizzying array of different models all selling at once, so even when a line is doing well, it doesn't hold a candle to the MacBook just through dilution alone. Unless things have changed drastically since last I looked several years ago Asus, Lenovo, and Dell each sell more than 10 times as many different simultaneous quasi-competitive models than Apple, even if you restrict things to the high end. Are the other laptops shown particularly strong sellers from those manufacturers? When I think of a current Dell MacBook competitor, I think of the XPS series. I wouldn't pick out any particular Asus machine, but I'd be surprised if their crown jewel was a Chromebook. I'm actually most surprised by the relatively high sales of the Surface Book, which is definitely Microsoft's proper entry here, though I can't really tell how much of the difference is down to the Surface Book just costing much more than the other non-Apple entrants in the chart.
