more like trouble for Dell, HP and Sony... their laptop businesses would be dead overnight. but i doubt the figure tbh.

Yeah, I should have included if they drop the price and gain enough market share or even wipe out Dell etc, laptop business' like you say Apple could then offer their OS for sale or licence on PC's and Laptops thus gaining the OS market share and causing serious trobles for MS.

^^guys, google "apple owns 90% of over $1000 laptop market share" and ull find a lot of links from NDP, etc.

By jove he's right.

Although that is only for America. If it rings true in enough markets then a big price drop could still gain them a huge share of the markets.



@Kowenicki
True but what if they made their OS available to PC's and Laptops instead of their hardware?

^^ya but a typical car is around $20,000, a ferrari is $1 000 000, but a typical laptop is $500-600, and a macbook pro is $1300, so the difference is not as big as the car example u showed. Also look at the old macbook's they were $1599, now the new macbook pro's are $1299, so the price is dropping dramatically already yet its specs are getting better and better.



ofc its doing good it ripped off apple lol



maybe 90% in us for over 1000§...in the rest off the world thats is a cheep price for a good computer ...lol..a god mac is like 1700§ dollar in sweden...



^^man I feel sorry for u guys.



And that is why apple wont drop their prices. They're a very profitable company that doesn't have to sell huge numbers like dell to achieve said results.
