<p>"Why not report the number of Mac laptops sold compared to all laptops? I'm reasonably sure that most laptops sold are under $1000."</p>
<p>The > $1,000 market is desired by manufacturers. What would be scary for them is if Apple went downmarket. Which is what they announced at the last conference call on earnings day.</p>
<p>My point was merely that the >$1000 qualifier seems to me to be just a way to make Apple look like it has more market share than it does. A more exaggerated example would be to say that Apple sold 100% of all computers shipped with OS X. Apple makes good systems, true, but I dislike it when people try to make them sound better than they are.</p>
<p>It would be cool to see Apple go for a more mainstream price point. I'm all for competition in the laptop market, because then maybe more Windows laptop makers would design like Apple :)</p>
