2021 Mac market share gains prove this to be incorrect.
- kllrnohj 5y agoSource & analysis needed. Poking around Apple's 2021 marketshare wasn't anything particularly special, and https://www.statista.com/statistics/576473/united-states-quarterly-pc-shipment-share-apple/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/576473/united-states-qua... isn't showing any sort of "M1 driven spike", either. Apple's y/y growth was larger than PC's y/y growth (Annual growth for Mac was 28.3%, against 14.6% for the global PC market), but note there both are still growing. Meaning M1 didn't suddenly convert the industry. Regardless a one year data point certainly doesn't prove a trend, certainly not of the "Apple is going to destroy Intel/AMD/Nvidia" variety.

And fair enough to say many people won’t switch because of inertia / software lock in which is true - but that’s not because of the quality of M1 or MacOS.
