In my company IT upgrades the laptops. Most people hate it, but IT doesn't care. This is the reason apple is still selling that crap. Apple is running on Inertia. Pretty soon people will move to other alternatives.
- beager 8y agoThat’s pretty true for me. Deploying one kind of laptop makes life easier for me as the de-facto IT person. I don’t have the time to research what kind of Windows machine would be best to deploy because there are actually hundreds of them. Apple offering just a few doors has made it easy to pick one and stick with it, although it’s pretty clear that the value of the machine considering its specs and price is pretty low.
- devonkim 8y agoApple becoming the thing they rallied against in the early 2000s is a sad state for the company despite its earnings. But investors are aware that they need to get ahead on something to keep that going at least. When Microsoft’s Surface series looks really attractive to me after 15 years of OS X and Mac investment, I’m not sure if Apple really can pull ahead without a massive game changer. Incremental changes so far are pointing to IOS application-ification of the entire Mac ecosystem.
