Apple keeps their stuff expensive, and people buy less of them.
Utter tripe and you know it.
These are the same people that say that the only reason Apple is so profitable is that they overcharge for their products. No matter what Apple accomplishes they try to find a way to make them look bad.
Who cares. Apples still making more money than these companies combined! Money buys talent, talent innovates, apple remains ahead. It's quite simple really
Were do these people come from? The aliens from the Pacific Rim are more relatable.
Why don't you just ignore me troll. I have an opinion about why I think iMac sales might be taking a hit. I takes a little intelligence to write more than two sentences without trying to insult someone. Did you use a dictionary to spell any of those words?

This needs to show a relation to tablet sales. Many are replacing PC's with iPads. How does this all shape up with iPads factored in...I would be curious.
If you aren't tracking tablets, then you shouldn't track the home PC market at all, IMHO. Many households used to use a PC for web, email, facebook, twitter, games, and photos. These can all be done on a tablet or smartphone now. I wouldn't be surprised to see many young adults forgo a PC altogether now, if not replacing one far less often than they used to.
Exactly. Many people used a computer because there was no alternative. But for those who primarily surf the web, do email, use social media sites, watch video, manage photographs and use simple apps, a Pad does everything they need.
Pads and computers should be counted together.
Going forward, traditional form factor computers will be used primarily by those doing complex work, those who are working on long documents and need a quality physical keyboard and content creators.
Whoop de fricking frick. Stay in the naughties, then.
Also everything from every other port available, yeah.
Are you a gorilla or a moron?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
How?
Enjoy your Schmidt.
“huge”… “27”” for “gaming”? Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?
Sure they do.
Yes, you’re part of the group of people who want to hold on to archaic technology and claim it’s the future. If we’re shortsighted, never sign me up for LASIK.
Thanks for the incorrect and terrible segue.

Utter tripe and you know it.
I think my IQ dropped about 20 points reading your response. Not one response was worth my time to read. Grow up.
If anything, the real news here should be that pre built PC's increased in sales at all from anyone considering just how much we hear about them dropping every quarter.
Let's be honest if you buy a MBP there is no need to buy for at least 3 years minimum. My MBP 17" mid 2010 i7 with 8g ram runs perfectly fine with photoshop cc, illustrator cc, chrome, and spotify open at all times. Computers are at a point that unless you're running high end 3d programs, video work, or games there is no reason to upgrade unless you just want to.
Don't worry too much about Tallest Skill - she likes to blather on.
Your stream of consciousness post has some good and bad points, but probably the main issue here is that no technical company can fulfill all their target market's individual needs all the time.
Apple is doing quite well in addressing their core market. Microsoft/Windows - not so much.
Do whatever you have to do - "whatever floats your boat" ;-)

I'm not buying the hype that we're in a Post PC era. Mobile is certainly strong but
I'd be loath to give up my MBA and iMac 27 to move to iPhone/iPad only I loathe that thought.
Next Mac up with be a Haswell Mac mini and then I'm hoping to to replace my MBA and my gf MBP
with rMBP next spring.
As always Apple has models coming in the wings and the Mac cognoscenti know to wait.

Well, I'll do my part. I am about to buy the wife a new MBA 13" model....
She noted how much easier it would be to sync here new iPhone and IPad if she only had a MacBook instead of her Sony Laptop...
(She is a member of the World's most Spoiled Wife's Club)
Of Course I am a member in the "Happy Wife Happy Life Club"...
Wow.
"Sigh" indeed, Wierdninja.
Sorry you are having such a bad time with Apple these days, hope you have a better experience with all the Android and Windows product offerings.

Maybe if they'd released the darn MBP refresh instead of artificially holding it back for the sake of Mavericks, their numbers wouldn't be down.
I know, right? Rocket science.
Well guess the post PC era is actually the post Mac era... you know it was bad when Apple could not even make a decent monitor.
The dumbing down of Apple by iOS is almost done, now they can go sell cAndy colored plastic phones... what a fiasco.

Wat. Apple's Monitors are among the best offered anywhere with few exceptions.
Blu-ray came out in 2006.
Twice yearly? You serious?
I can't wait to buy an iMac to replace my G5. Yes I still use a G5. Unfortunately I need to buy a car first.
How is your decision to replace a machine related to how often Apple should refresh their product?
That’s fine. Your opinion is wrong. You are being alerted to that fact.
Which was a year in the decade known as the… *gestures for you to continue* (Where’s the anticipation emoji? This’ll have to do) ????
