laptop is a matured market and the lineup under Jobs was very straight forward (Macbook, macbook pro, macbook air).
EDIT: Since all the reply to my comment seem to complety miss my point, here it is:
Apple's laptop lineup is very straight forward compared to their competitor in regards to LAPTOP. Have a look at HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo's[1] offering. They have like 30 different laptops.

- shas3 12y agoLaptops are more modular than the newer phones. So most laptop manufacturers give you options to 'customize' the specs. It is probably not profitable to have fully customizable phones, yet. So you have 'more models'. In my opinion, people make this a bigger deal than it actually is. The equivalent of 15" Macbook Pro is perhaps the iPhone Plus, which people criticize as 'more models', etc.
- majormajor 12y agoA straightforward laptop line that had more size options than are available for either iPhones or iPads. I think they had six sizes at once going for a while? Two airs, three MBPs, one MB?
- pothibo 12y agoHow about you compare the laptop lineup with its own industry?
- pilsetnieks 12y agoSo it's still very straightforward under Cook, too: MBA, MBPR, and MBP which probably hasn't much time left.
