"Maybe apple is really a fad that will just die out on its own, ..."
Well... Android can give iOS a run for its money.
But there's no way Windows users who switched to an Apple laptop are going to switch back to a PC running an OS made by Microsoft.
Most people love their Apple laptops and they are now so entrenched in schools and amongst devs that there's no way Apple is going to "die" anytime soon. They could stop selling iPod, iPad, iPhones and whatnots that there would still be a market for laptops. It would be back to the "old" Apple selling, well, computers. But dying? Apple existed before I was born and I think they'll still be there long after I'm dead, just like IBM.
For what it's worth I'm no fanboy: I'm using a PC running Linux...

I don't think there are so many Macbooks in schools though, its mostly a thing in the young professional crowd.
