Cheaper Macs for increasing the market share?

[jjcs]

Why are you so defensive?

We've never had a fanless computer that takes a semi-highend PC laptop to match. The M1 Air showed what a fanless computer could do. It was a game-changer and opens us up to a keyboard computer.

The best recent keyboard computer was this: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-keyboard-and-hub/

Defensive? Not at all. Amused, maybe.

None of your comments are remotely relevant to the statement that Apple is applying for a patent for a keyboard computer form factor - something that has significant prior art. That newer computers are faster is not what is being discussed here.

I see 16 percent but now 15 percent.

So they actually LOST market share going Apple silicon.

I expect it may go lower.

Expensive. PCIe expansion is HISTORY . I dont see any of the current Macs as PRO machines anymore.

The Switch to PC and Windows will speed up.

Big Corporations don't like Expensive Hardware that cant easily be fixed or upgraded and at the mercy of APPLE.

Well... that sort of depends upon the company and what part of the staff is getting deployed into.

Loads of big co's have been issuing out Mac laptops forever now -- mostly not fixable or upgradeable (practically speaking) outside of working with Apple.

I don't see that changing honestly.
