- ropeadopepope 8y agoDo you have a source on that? I never hear about iMacs, which makes me assume nobody uses them.
- nicky0 8y agoHmm
- oarsinsync 8y agoNot the GP, no source, but anecdotally, I see lots and lots of design related offices around London littered with iMacs everywhere. Dunno if they like them, but they certainly use them.
- macintux 8y agoMac sales are pretty good relative to the overall market. iMacs are almost definitely a minority compared to laptops (Apple doesn't break out sales by model), but since Apple is selling somewhere north of 10 million Macs/year, there have to be several million iMacs in active use.
- jakobegger 8y agoI've just looked at some statistics from update checks from Postico, a database app used mostly by web developers. - 93% of my customers have a laptop - 70% of desktop users have an iMac Graphs: https://imgur.com/a/H0N0BZy https://imgur.com/a/H0N0BZy
- gowld 8y agoThose graphs are missing the scale. 70% of nothing is nothing.
- jakobegger 8y agoThe data are for around 35000 unique users in May (of which around 2400 used a desktop).
- ropeadopepope 8y agoContext is everything. We're talking about desktop computers. We already know laptop users dwarf desktop users these days. My question implied I was curious about what percentage of desktop users use iMacs. 70%, even for a product that isn't widely used, is interesting.
- ropeadopepope 8y agoI bet you support Safari. ;)
- jakobegger 8y agoPostico is a native Mac app, not a web app.
- ropeadopepope 8y agoDoh! Sorry about that. :)
- rconti 8y agoLove my 5k iMac I bought 2 years ago; it replaced a 10 year old Mac Pro when I just couldn't justify the pricetag of a new computer AND display separately, with the 5k iMac starting at just $1800. Friend just bought an iMac Pro. My mom's still going on a 20" iMac from, I think, 10 years ago. I replaced the hard disk with an SSD at some point, but I can't even remember why -- possibly just to give it a performance bump. I know the disk didn't outright fail but it's possible it was making noise.
- jclardy 8y agoI have a 5k iMac. No real complaints with it, although the design is pretty dated with its massive bezels and huge chin. Compute-wise it serves its purpose for me, good performance for an all-in-one.
- LeoPanthera 8y ago> makes up most of their desktop offering That's because it's literally the only option which isn't several years out of date.
