not only do I see fewer macbooks every year among the affluent crowd… That's odd. Last quarter (July–September) the Mac grossed more than it ever has in one quarter: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/10/apple-reports-fourth-quarter-results/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/10/apple-reports-fourth-... Think about it. During a global pandemic, countries shutting down and the global economy not doing so well to say the least, the Mac at 36-years old grossed a little over $9 billion. That's more than either the iPad or the Apple Watch. It seems that people working from home for the foreseeable future bought a lot of Macs. Should be interesting now that M1 Mac laptops are reported to have blow away performance and last as long as 20 hours on a single charge. And these Macs come with a BSD-derived development environment and will likely run Linux in a VM faster than comparable Intel machines can run it natively.
