You’re wrong. Every study done has shown that Macs in the enterprise have a lower total cost of ownership than PCs. IBM discovered this and is converting all 400,000 of the employees world wide to all Apple. They found just in in-house service calls for their IT department, they are saving almost $50 million a year over what PCs had cost to keep operational.
When IBM first started installing Macs and had a mere 135,000 installed base, the IT staff servicing that number of Macs was just 34 engineers. Of all those Macs, only 5% generated any service requests at all in their first year and 98.7% of those were resolved on the first call. On the other hand 40% of the PC users generated service calls and each usually required multiple calls to resolve if not complete reimagine of the computer. IBM found they required one PC Tech staffer for every 400 PC users, but one Mac Tech could service 5,345 Mac users! That made for significant IT savings.
In the following year, IBM found the saving were even greater:
"The icing on the user preference cake is that it turns out there are solid business reasons to encourage staff to move to Mac. Not only has the company been saving between $264-$535 for each Mac deployment over four years, but just 3.5 percent of employees using a Mac will call the company help desk, he said. “Give employees the devices they want, manage those devices in a modern way, and drive self sufficiency in the environment,” Previn (IBM VP of Workplace as a Service, Fletcher Previn) explains."
Many major banks in Japan use Macs, and Alphabet/Google is primarily Apple Mac.
Every business that I have work for past 30 years all have had PCs. And recently, I have been involved in purchasing computers. Of the 100+ computers that we have, not a single computer is an Apple. Most are dirt cheap PCs running xp (the now obsolete Windows OS). No way could we afford the Apple equivalent x 100. Even refurbished Macs. It would bankrupt the company.
Like I said, there is pie in the sky, and there is real world. When it comes to computers, Apple is too costly.
Anyway, in my many lives over the past 20 years, there may have been a rare and occasional Mac for example for doing documentation for the hardware and label. That was 20 years ago.
Hey, in Apples favor, we have bought an Apple TV box. Nice. Best of all, it simple and does everything that we need it to. My wife is not super technical and we are now streaming a lot of media. We don't use it for ITunes but the other streaming services.
Only concern — how soon will Apple drop support of its OS. I will be watching with bated breath. If Apple does it to me again, I will have nothing good to say about them. This is their last opportunity and an opportunity to redeem themselves.
