"One other factor to remember about market share - PCs tend to be low-quality, disposable computers that have to be replaced more frequently"

Huh?

"Macs are more durable and have a longer useful life"

Hahahahahahaha!
Apple make some of the most unreliable hardware on the planet:

I'm reasonably certain that I have far more experience in the industry than you, noob. Here are some ugly realities from my personal experience -

Several years ago, my wife accidentally ran over her Mac PowerBook with the Cadillac. It cracked the screen and the case - but I still got it to boot up sufficiently to recover her data.

I have a 29-year old Apple computer that still works like new. I've carried it around the world, to third-world hell-holes and back, tortured and abused it, and it still works just fine.

In my decades as an Apple customer, I've had only one computer virus - and that was in the late 1980s.

I've been in the biz long enough to remember when IBM had a monopoly on computers. IBM was not invincible - and neither is Microsoft.

Everybody knows that Windows is low-quality crap. That is why Apple consistently ranks at the top of PC Magazine's user surveys -

Apple Mac desktops, notebooks top PC Magazine’s Annual Reader Satisfaction survey - again
