There is a good reason why Apple only has a small percentage of the computer market, 7.4%. What is funny is sitting down with a MacBook Pro that was using Bootcamp to run Windows 10.
What you just said is exactly what Intel said when AMD beat them to 1 GHz. They were laughed at.(sidebar: ya'll know that clock speed isnt as important as people would like to think? there are better ways to measure a processors performance, tailored for a specific workload)
I get the idea that Apple could present alien technology from the planet Mongo, and Dr. Hans Zarkov and you would not be impressed, I get it.
...Why people keep patronizing them is beyond comprehension...
those who laughed were fools then. clock speed does make a difference, but in the overall scheme of things it is but one cog, and in an environment where you do data processing (i.e. any business) and are hence IO bound, a much slower machine as part of a farm will outperform a faster clock.What you just said is exactly what Intel said when AMD beat them to 1 GHz.

Off topic I know, but I must of missed it. When did Apple surge to 7.4% ? They wallowed for years with about 3.5%.There is a good reason why Apple only has a small percentage of the computer market, 7.4%. What is funny is sitting down with a MacBook Pro that was using Bootcamp to run Windows 10.

The latest figures I could find is 2016 this from Apple Insider.

Here are some newer figures from MacRumor The 2017 Q1 figures are 6.8%

The total PC market is shrinking but Apple is maintaining their share of this market.
