But still, desktop Macs have their place. Yes, most Macs sold these days are laptops because they’re powerful and flexible. Measuring at 4096 by 2304 pixels, that’s 9.4 million pixels, providing a vastly broader work area than a 12-, 13- or even 15-inch laptop screen. The new 4K iMac isn’t the cheapest Retina Mac you can buy-both the MacBook and the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro come cheaper-but it offers a much larger screen. In a time when PC growth has stalled, Apple continues to grow its market share and update Mac hardware in interesting, innovative ways. But it’s clear that Apple views the Mac in general and the iMac in particular as a point of pride. Apple could probably be forgiven if it put the entire iMac line into maintenance mode: after all, sometimes it seems like that’s what most of the PC industry has done. The Mac is a small fraction of Apple’s total business, and of that, roughly three-quarters of the Macs sold are laptops.
