But that’s because the M1 and M2 Mac sold like hot cakes and we’re at a quiet stop in the product timeline.

So you agree that it's mainly Apple stans buy in whenever a new Mac drops, and hasn't been able to really influence non Apple stans.

That's what the poster above you said. Apple stans buy in because they're a cult, so of course their sales will increase once a new mac drops.

sold like hot cakes

The same was true for every other manufacturers during covid as everyone was bound to work from home and needed a laptop, but nobody seems to mention that

No, I very much do not. M1 laptops have drawn in a lot of new users, simply because of the battery life and performance.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. There are a lot of factors that influence purchasing decisions. It’s expensive equipment and people try to decide whether it’s worth spending cash on. Apple users are not made of money.

Yes. So?

Market share of ARM laptops skyrocketed from 0% to almost 10% overnight regardless. That’s the topic right?
