Of course Apple users prefer laptops, because until very recently the desktops were junk! Apple still does not sell a consumer desktop which will take PCIe video cards or separate monitors, which is a very large part of the overall PC market. For mobile computing the PowerPC had some distinct advantages over x86 CPUs until quite recently (and Apple, having seen this coming, decided to switch), so by default non-professional Apple users have been on laptops.

When will Apple put out a consumer computer that will take a PCIe x16 video card (or two) and costs less than $1000? _That_ is when the other 95% of the market may take notice.
