Sisesikhashana lapho izibikezelo zabahlaziyi abakhulu ziwela ngezindlela eziningi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, sinedatha enkulu esexwayise isikhathi eside ukuthi ukuthengiswa kwamaMacs kusesekuweni kwamahhala, lapho-ke sinabanye abahlaziyi abambalwa abaphikisana "nokuqina kokuthengisa" kwezinye izingxenye zonyaka maqondana nama-Macs naphezu kokwehla okujwayelekile kokuthengiswa kwamakhompyutha, futhi ekugcineni sinabo ababona isikhathi se-post-PC sesiphelile futhi abakholelwa ukuthi amakhompyutha azoqhubeka nokuthengisa okufanayo njengakuqala. Ngamafuphi, idlanzana lemibono eliwela phakathi kwabo futhi elingashiyi lutho licacile.
Okwamanje, okumele sicacelwe ngakho ukuthi kuze kube yilapho i-Apple uqobo ikhombisa inani lokuthengiswa kwamaMacs nayo yonke eminye imikhiqizo kukhathalogi yayo, konke lokhu kungukucabanga okususelwa ezimakethe noma kokunye ukuthunyelwa kwemikhiqizo. Ngaphezu kwalokhu, kujwayelekile ukuthi ekuqaleni konyaka ukukhiqizwa kweMacBook kwehle ngandlela thile, kepha asazi ukuthi lokho kwehla kuhumushela ku-16% ukuthi zikhombisa ku-IHS. Ngemuva kwalokho sinamazwi ka-Apple uqobo - ngombono lawo abalwa ngempela - aphikisana nokurekhodwa okuhle kakhulu kweMacBook Pro emlandweni wenkampani, ngakho-ke lokhu kungukuxakaniseka kwangempela.
Kuyacaca ukuthi ukuthengiswa kwama-Mac noma ama-PC kwehla phakathi nale minyaka futhi ukuthi asishintshi amakhompyutha minyaka yonkeOkungenani ubude bemishini kuvamise ukuba yiminyaka emithathu, emine noma engaphezulu (ekusetshenzisweni komuntu siqu) kepha-ke, into elula ukujoyina i-bandwagon yesikhathi se-post-PC.
Akungabazeki ukuthi abasebenzisi abaningi bayayeka ukusebenzisa ama-Mac ukuphequlula, ukusebenzisa amanethiwekhi omphakathi, ukubheka i-imeyili nokunye okunjalo. ukushintshela ku-iPad, kepha kusobala ukuthi namuhla awukwazi ukwenza konke kwi-iPad noma kumathebulethi asemakethe futhi yingakho ama-Macs sikholwa ukuthi azoqhubeka nokusetshenziswa futhi athengiswe njengawo wonke ama-PC.
