> but since they don't run linux (some of us) won't buy them. I guess it depends on which group is larger. The frustrating thing with us geeks is that we overestimate our market segment. At Apple's scale, we are insignificant. As a publicly-traded company, Apple publishes a fair amount of operating info, such as their sales for their various product lines: https://investor.apple.com/investor-relations/default.aspx https://investor.apple.com/investor-relations/default.aspx From there, looking at the 2020 Q4 "Financial Statements" PDF, we can find the "sales by category" and see that in the "12-month ending Sept 26 2020" they sold $28,622M worth of Mathe previous year. Alternatively, they sold $9,032M in Q4 2020 (July-Sept) vs $6,991M in Q4 2019. Of course we'll have to wait another quarter to get a glimpse of how well the new M1-based macs sell (while considering that they're only part of Apple's Mac lineup.)
