Mac are premium hardware, and they earn higher margin. Apple use that to reinvest into their own hardware. And has been doing so for 30+ years.
Better quality PC generally dont sell as well. They have less incentive to do so. The whole PC business is also cut throat, in the old days you could have most of the margin on PC going to Intel. While others are fighting for what is left.
Recent example speakers. PC Laptop have had appalling speakers for years if not decades. It wasn't until Youtuber start pointing out some of these flaws which became competitive advantage for certain brands did PC marker start paying attention and R&D to it.
- hbn 1y agoIs your theory that PC's bad reputation is from people only having experience with cheap ones? If so I'm not sure if I buy it. At my work, all non-developers are given Microsoft Surfaces. They're not cheap machines by any means, but they have nothing but problems with them. Overheating, battery drain, lag, full-on lockups, requiring regular daily reboots, needing replacement after a year, etc. I'm guessing they just give everyone PCs because it's what most people are familiar with, but I have to assume they're spending more on those units than a base-spec MacBook Air that would get way better mileage and cause less tickets for IT.
