While PC sales are up for the first time in 6 years, Mac sales had the worst quarter in 7 years, a 13 percent unit decline year over year. In fact, Mac sales are at a level not seen since Q3 2010.
The reasons behind these figures are simple. PCs have exhibited new features and innovations in recent years driven by Microsoft and the Surface Line while Apple has allowed it Mac lineup to become stagnant. Apple recently an update "Refresh" on its Macbook Pro, however, it is hard to justify spending thousands of dollars on technology that is more than a year old. In addition, the reliability of Macs has received a lot of consumer complaints and negative press recently and that doesn't help when selling systems priced over a thousand if not thousands of dollars.
Windows 10 has been another factor in PC growth. OEMs and manufacturers have bestowed credit on Microsoft's OS for helping revive the market.
PCs and Macs have different markets and some professionals rely on Macs to work, however, businesses and enterprises overwhelmingly rely on PCs and the business market is buying PCs again.
The recent release of Intel Gen 8 processors and less expensive SSDs have provided a significant performance increase that coupled with Windows 10 offer an upgrade experience worth the money.
Windows 10 version 1803 that was just released adds so many features that use to cost you money. Version 1803 came with a new App that performs video and photo editing a popular application among today's users.
