You can argue with the numbers themselves all day but the point in the end is that Apple is making a ton of money focusing on an end of the market that everyone else is afraid of.
Another aspect of that is that most of those sales were through Apple's own retail stores -- which other PC manufacturers have consistently failed to succeed with. Again they're succeeding by not playing their own game.
(I find it strange that so many people devote energy to thinking about what the numbers don't mean rather than thinking about what they do mean.)

- GHFigs 18y agoWell, yeah, but the point is that expression that aversion in lieu of any other comment is a goddamn waste of time.
- Goronmon 18y agoI guess that depends how much you can infer from such a comment. I would infer that the aversion exists because it's confusing and many times not helpful to cherry-pick criteria. Of course, I'm inferring that because it's my opinion on the subject and it may not be what anyone else actually agrees with.
