I shouldn't have to repeat myself; this still doesn't refute the claim that Apple has ceded the consumer compute market. Cheap Macs have flooded the used market for years, and people still gravitate towards plastic Wintel boxes and Chromebooks. > Apple makes stuff for affluent people is just repeating the original claim upthread: >> they've priced the consumer/pro-sumer out of the market prettymuch and so B2B is the more sustainable paying population.

The fact Apple maximizes for profits, and does not care about market share, does not mean it has ceded the market at all. It’s the exact contrary. Apple’s making money akin to the #2 position while being #4 and that’s an issue for you? Once again you retreat to anecdata; how can you prove that used Mac laptops are not popular?
