cantankerous_cashewMac shipments grow 10%, as all major PC brands see downturns
Wallets are shrinking, so it makes sense that people would spend their money on something that's more likely to hold value, or last past 5 years of daily use. I got my M1 MacBook Pro for the same reasons.
Also PC companies are getting greedy as fuck and charging Apple prices while not delivering an Apple experience.
Sent from my iPhone, which I bought because Samsung decided to double their prices between the S9 and the S23, all the while expecting me to put up with the train wreck that is the Android app ecosystem.
Not to mention, battery life is INCREDIBLY good on Apple silicon. That, and it generally runs far cooler and quieter than earlier x86 MBPs.
