The three main brands of personal computers were Apple, Radio Shark and Atari. Of all of them, only the one founded by the Steves is still active in the sale of PCs under the Macintosh brand. However, it could say the last goodbye to this world in the very near future and it’s not something we say, but the internet rumors about the latest moves of those in Cupertino show it. Is it time to say goodbye to Apple in the laptop world?
We usually associate the word PC with a system with an x86 processor and a Microsoft operating system, however, personal computers existed before IBM’s 5150. On the other hand, while it’s true that the mouse-controlled GUI was first seen on the Apple Lisa and later on the Macintosh, with some Xerox influence of course. Today all computers use it, so to some extent we all have a Mac.
Here’s how Apple will tell the PC world
In reality, we are faced with a process that has been in the making for years, especially since the launch of the first iPad, whose capabilities were limited to say the least. The fact is that over time it has evolved in terms of processing capacity until it shares the same hardware with the Mac, what have they had to do with Cupertino to differentiate them? Well, artificially capar to the tablet.
However, the transition to the iPad goes back several generations and one of the things we see is the fact that applications from the famous Apple tablet can now be run on their personal computers. However, this is not the time when Apple says goodbye to the PC. It is rather linked to the fact that they will integrate capacitive screens in their future computers. That is, the same ones used by the rest of your iThings.
In Cupertino they face each other
Well, the fact that applications and more specifically their GUI are designed around input devices. This is why the way to interact with a tablet application is different from the way we interact with the PC application. What’s going on with all of this? Well, majority-market apps end up eating the minority. Moreover, it has reached the point where the two ranges are cannibalizing each other.
At the same time, not only does the Mac now support iPad applications, but you can already use a conventional mouse, connected via Bluetooth on the tablet. Do you see where this convergence is going? Although the problem is not limited to technology, but to the fact that the Halo effect which occurred in its time in the sales of iPods and the first iPhones to other products of the brand, does not occur not in their personal computers and tablets, which don’t stand out in the same way as their phones or accessories like AirPods.
Laptops will be the range that will be affected
Obviously this change would not affect ranges such as the iMac and Mac Pro, which are those of Apple’s desktop or desktop computers, but rather would affect its range of portable products, in any case everything will be expected Let’s see what they do in In the end, we wouldn’t want Apple to definitively abandon the world of laptops to focus on vitamin and overpriced tablets.
