These numbers are misleading. The entire Macbook Pro line is summed up, where as the pro lines of other vendors are not summed.

- jerf 10y agoYes, even the vendors they show sum up to 1.3x, and the PC line keeps going for some time. The PC world also has a set of machines with generally premium-grade specs but have much cheaper cases, which meets many people's needs. Apple has always had this "advantage" in sales. It has never meant much, in either direction.
- merb 10y agoActually there is not even the Pro line recorded of Dell. Latitiude/Precision is the Pro line, however since the new XPS more and more Business Customers also use the XPS.
- digi_owl 10y agoThats one of the things that most people overlook. Apple have consistently been marketing B2B hardware to B2C customers. Invariably when people complain that brand X is crap vis a vis Apple they are comparing some bargain basement web terminal laden with bloatware to a Macbook Pro.
- rayiner 10y agoI'm not sure B2B hardware is so great. Screens and touch pads on HP Pro Books and Thinkpads for example are low quality. The Precision 5510 is a good machine, but it's actually an up-model XPS 15.
- dman 10y agoHP Pro is strangely enough HPs low end line. HP Elitebooks are the equivalent to the MacBook pro.
