Most of the world is not using Apple laptops and is not going to. The Facebook community around you might, but that's not the entire world. The "nobody" in your list still accounts for what, 90% of the laptop buyers? Even more?
Most of the powerful laptops are neither Macs, as those go to the gaming laptops where - this is a big surprise - games and their performance counts. Apple has no answer there.
Games? the biggest market is the Mobile market, Desktop market is shrinking year after year, it'll become a niche very soon
Ever heard of Genshin Impact? https://gamerant.com/genshin-impact-made-more-money-in-its-f...
And please learn to project a little when you do some analysis, yesterday is long gone, tomorrow is what's going on
And when say nobody, i talk about the people making a deliberate choice, in that group, rarer are the people choosing a windows laptop, other than the people replacing their IT fleets, or your granny picking a cheap laptop because she has no clue what an OS is anyways and everything is pre-installed with Windows, for some reasons ;)
When it comes to projections, the ~1300€ laptops are not going to be the ones taking over the world. Not in any realistic projection, unless the inflation goes to Turkey level.
Every people makes deliberate choice, don't discount someone's choice not being deliberate just because it does not align to yours. I don't pick a laptop for my own self, but a desktop - since I don't need the mobility when I need grunt. There M2 brings me nothing so far.
Your granny might make a more thoughtful choice than you do. She might buy a tool for herself while you're fancying over something shiny. That's not deliberate.
and with Cloud gaming coming, as the infrastructure improves, and fiber becoming more and more popular, that'll allow every kind of devices able to consume intensive games
Microsoft added Android VM support in windows 11 because they know what's going on, they have access to the numbers
Yes, games. Even as a floundering mess, Blizzard rakes in 300-400mm/quarter on a single game that is a PC exclusive, without insane microtransactions/loot boxes.
