Isn't that because Apple is by far the biggest laptop manufacturer? Comparisons with the market leader are often useful.

- 72deluxe 12y agoI didn't think they were? I thought they had a very niche market and are outsold massively by Windows laptops? Unless that position has changed? I couldn't find any figures on the Internet (admittedly I didn't do an exhaustive search); someone else might do better.
- MikeTV 12y agoThough the analysis in this article I'm linking is disingenuous ( it compares Apple laptop+iphone+ipad+ipod sales to Windows laptop sales...) its graphs tell the story pretty clearly: http://ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2014/2/12/apple-passes-microsoft http://ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2014/2/12/apple-passes-mi... Look at the little sliver of black that represents Mac computer sales (looks like ~5m sales/quarter) and compare with the orange line that represents Windows computer sales (just under 80m sales/quarter). Even if 100% of the Macs are laptops and only 10% (as a pessimistic guess) of the Windows machines are laptops, sales are still heavily in the Windows territory.
