That assumes Apple won't be growing its PC market share.
Given the M1's benefits, the ability of Big Sur to run iOS apps, and Apple's marketing prowess, I'd be surprised if they don't double their market share in the next 3 to 4 years.

- ogre_codes 6y ago> Then there's the (highly lucrative) server market. Apple has flirted with the server market on several occasions. I could see a well priced Apple server with an M series CPU doing quite well if Apple did it right. That said, Apple has never really shined here and it's not really their strong point. I'm sure MacStadium would love if Apple launched a blade server platform where you could just slot Mac mini logic boards in.
