Here in South Africa I have observed quite a significant growth in Apple's market share over the last 15 years. Unfortunately we don't deal directly with Apple, but rather franchises that make it seem like are working closely with Apple. Prices are relatively high but reasonable, and I haven't had issues with support. At my workplace: Apple devices are generally super reliable; and since we started giving Macs to all employees (hundreds) it has put an extremely low impact on internal support. Most folks in this country still use PC but I think every kid wants an iPad or Macbook (because the other cool kids have them), so it will be interesting to see how things develop going forward.

How long do the macs usually last before they need to be replaced?

  So long that the users come up with any excuse to get the latest model. We usually replace them after 3-5 years based on usage. But we also have a couple that are still in use after 8-9 years.
