Apple Dominates "Premium PC" Market
itwbennett writes "Macs made up a whopping 91 percent of the $1,000-and-up computer market in June. Not so long ago, $1,000 got you an entry-level machine. Today the average computer sells for $701, while the average Windows machine sells for only $515. Still, Macs only make up 8.7% of PC sales. But is that really such a bad position to be in? Consider an Apples to Apples, that is, Macs to iPhones comparison: the iPhone takes only a sliver of the phone market but a much larger share of the profits."
"Hi, I'm a Mac, and I am a PC."
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
Maybe Microsoft will start selling the Windows 7 "I Am Rich" Edition for installation on Apple hardware?
But there's an app for that!
No one said you need to have knowledge of something to comment on it. This is the internet. You should know better by now.
Again, you are missing the point. The criteria of this "study" was NOT the feature set. The "premium" tag was about the price, not features.
GP might understand your argument better if you used a Monster cable analogy.
ie "Monster gold cables made up a whopping 91 percent of the $1,000-and-up cable market in June"
