https://www.statista.com/statistics/576473/united-states-quarterly-pc-shipment-share-apple/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/576473/united-states-qua... HP ships nearly 50% more PCs. Dell sells just a few more. I don't know that I would say they are dominant, after a release of a single low power, high performing part. What many in the Apple ecosystem are missing is the steady, rapid improvement in performance and efficiency coming from AMD, who apparently few have heard of, because only Intel CPUs were found in Apple for 14 years (and we're not all gamers!) In early 2020, AMD released massively dominate laptop CPUs, but OEMs have only tepidly adopted them. It looks like about 20% of notebooks are now being sold with AMD, and that number is going to grow in 2021, as the lead time for new designs using AMD will have elapsed. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3569437/amds-notebook-pc-share-climbs-to-an-all-time-high-of-nearly-20-percent.html https://www.pcworld.com/article/3569437/amds-notebook-pc-sha... I'm not saying these AMD chips are better than Apples - the battery life is at best half! Although, I can't help but read your comment as satire! "What if PC components were modular!" I also enjoy building sets from LEGO bricks, and putting together my computer from parts!

Apple has >60% profit share of the entire PC market. Marketshare is irrelevant and has been for quite some time.

  Yet again, I feel like this will be the enduring lesson of Apple taught in business school. The art of finding and exploiting the most profitable niche of a market to take the majority of the profit while only having to serve a fraction of the userbase.

    An engineer friend of mine took an MBA a while back (the company paid, so he figured why not). Apple was one of the companies under study then. I doubt it's changed.

  But they said "the market should be modular", not "Apple CPUs should be part of the modular market." The market is modular - Apple CPUs are just limited to Apple laptops.
