Sikumzuzwana apho Uqikelelo lwabahlalutyi abaziintloko luwela kumacala aliqela. Kwelinye icala, sinomzimba omkhulu wedatha osilumkise ixesha elide ukuba ukuthengiswa kweeMacs kusesengxakini yokuwa simahla, emva koko sinabanye abahlalutyi abathi "ukuzinza kwentengiso" kwezinye iikota zonyaka ngokweMacs ukuya ngaphandle kokuhla ngokubanzi kwintengiso yekhompyuter, kwaye ekugqibeleni sinabo abo babona ixesha lePost-PC kwaye abakholelwa ukuba iikhompyuter ziya kuqhubeka nokuthengisa ngokufanayo nakudala. Ngamafutshane, zimbalwa izimvo ezilungileyo ezinqamlezayo phakathi kwabo kwaye ezingashiyi nto icacile.
Okwangoku, into ekufuneka siyicacisile yile yokuba de iApple ngokwayo ibonakalise inani lokuthengisa kweeMacs kunye nezinye iimveliso kwikhathalogu yayo, konke oku kukucinga okusekwe kwiimarike okanye kwezinye iimeko kuthumelo lweemveliso. Ukongeza koku, kuqhelekile ukuba ekuqaleni konyaka ukuveliswa kweMacBook kunciphe, kodwa asazi ukuba Oku kuncipha kuguqulela kwi-16% ukuba zibonisa kwi-IHS. Emva koko sinamagama ka-Apple uqobo-ngokwethiyori abona babalayo- bethetha eyona rekhodi ibalaseleyo yeMacBook Pro kwimbali yenkampani, ke obu bububi bokwenyani.
Kuyacaca ukuba ukuthengiswa kweeMacs okanye iiPC kuya ezantsi kule minyaka kwaye kukuba asitshintshi iikhompyuter minyaka leUbuncinci ubude bezixhobo zihlala ziba yiminyaka emithathu, emine okanye nangaphezulu (kusetyenziso lomntu) kodwa ke, into elula kukujoyina i-bandwagon yexesha leposi lePC.
Alithandabuzeki elokuba abasebenzisi abaninzi bayayeka ukusebenzisa iiMac ukukhangela, ukusebenzisa iinethiwekhi zentlalo, jonga i-imeyile kunye nokunye okunjalo ukutshintshela kwi-iPad, kodwa kuyacaca ukuba namhlanje ngekhe wenze yonke into kwi-iPad okanye kwiitafile ezikwimarike kwaye yiyo loo nto iiMac sikholelwa ukuba ziya kuqhubeka zisetyenziswa kwaye zithengiswe njengazo zonke iiPC.
