MS has crossed 2 billion in a quarter in Surface book sales. So they have proved they can deliver a full platform by themselves in the laptop market - which is even more saturated and competitive than the mobile market. What is lacking is vision and will here.

It was the decline of PC laptop build quality that prompted MS to get into this game, after years spent vainly begging OEM partners to sell at least something whose build quality, finish, and overall appearance could compete with Apple's wares. And this strategy worked, as PC laptop build quality has improved a bit. That market was huge and wide open for MS. But still Apple outsells them more than 4 to 1.
