Kutshanje Uphando lweeNgxelo zabaThengi (iwebhusayithi ebaluleke kakhulu ngokweemvavanyo kunye neziphumo zeentlobo ngeentlobo zeempahla zabathengi), iyangqina ukuba iiApple MacBooks ziyaqhubeka nokuba ziinkokheli ngokuthembeka kunye nokwoneliseka kwabathengi.
Olu phononongo lwalusekwe kwimbono yababhalisi be-58.000 bale webhusayithi abathengile ilaptop phakathi konyaka we-2010 kunye nowe-2015. Ekugqibeleni, idatha yophando ibonise ukuba phantse i-20% yaba babhalisi bahlupheke ngandlela ithile kububi kwii-laptops zabo. kwisithuba seminyaka emithathu yokuqala ukuthengwa, iMacBook ibe yincwadi yokubhala enexabiso eliphantsi lokusilela xa kuthelekiswa nezo zisekwe kwiWindows ezineempawu ezinje ngeAcer, iLenovo, iSamsung nabanye abenzi.
Umzekelo, iMacBook Air yayinayo kuphela 7% izinga lokusilelaNgelixa iMacBook Pro yayiphezulu nge-9%, kuzo zombini iimeko zingaphantsi kwe-10%. Eli nani ligqithise kwabanye abavelisi, elona lisondeleyo linguSamsung, ngenqanaba lokungaphumeleli eli-16% lilandelwa ngu-Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, HP, Dell no-Asus, bonke bebejikeleze i-18% okanye i-19%.
Abasebenzisi beelaptop zeWindows zibanga ukuba zisebenzisa izixhobo zazo umndilili weeyure ezingama-20 ngeveki, ngelixa abasebenzisi bekhompyuter ye-Apple beyenza iiyure ezingama-23 ngeveki, i-15% ngaphezulu kodwa ukusilela okumbalwa.
Iilaptops ezisekwe kwiWindows uphando oluthembekileyo yayiyi-NV (13%) kunye ne-LT (14%) uthotho lwencwadana ebhalwe uphawu lweGateway ilandelwa yi-Samsung ngencwadi yayo ye-ATIV (14%), iLenovo ThinkPad (15%) kunye nomgca weDell XPS (15%). Kwelinye icala, ii-EnVY zepremiyamu ze-HP zinenqanaba lokungaphumeleli ukuya kuthi ga kwi-20%, ngelixa uthotho luka-Lenovo luka-Y lwalunelona zinga liphezulu lokungaphumeleli kwi-23%.
Kufuneka iqatshelwe ukuba xa iiMacBooks ziqhekeza kunjalo, eyona ibiza kakhulu ukuyilungisa, ke ukuthengwa kweAppleCare kuyacetyiswa kakhulu.
Ngokwemeko yolwaneliseko yomthengi, Iipesenti ezingama-71 zabanini beMacBook Banelisekile ngokupheleleyo kukuthembeka kwenkqubo xa kuthelekiswa ne-38% kuphela yabanini beelaptop zeWindows.
