Despite an outcry from professional users, Apple's new MacBook Pro has surpassed the total sales of nearly all notable laptops in just five days, reports Slice.
Slice Intelligence reports that in the first five days of availability online, the latest model generated over seven times the revenue that the MacBook 12-inch did during its April 2015 launch. The new model’s sales already equal 78 percent of all the revenue generated by the MacBook 12-inch since it became available, and has accumulated more revenue than any other laptop this year.
Slice also notes that 40% of Apple laptop owners who bought a MacBook in 2014 switched to another brand. Dell and Asus computers were the most popular brands for switchers.
Over 80% of shoppers who bought a MacBook Pro in the first five days were men. That's a similar breakdown to early buyers of the Apple Watch.
