Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

The only potential concern I have is in considering how much casual PC market is left in the industry. I thought these users moved on to mobile, ergo leaving enthusiasts and professionals behind years ago as the remaining users. It might also cannibalize sales of their more powerful laptops because: who are the laptop buyers now? Where are they? Surely Apple did a market study, and they look set to completely dominate whatever’s left.
If I wasn’t going to use Linux, it would be Mac. Quite compelling despite the lower memory because are in an expensive market.

Education and enterprise still have a need for a lot of group-managed laptops. Not all of them will be power users, either. Some of them won’t even have sophisticated IT departments (thinking about elementary schools and the like where their IT needs might not run very high).
I agree that we’re probably seeing the waning days of the casual laptop user who administers their own system as an independent device. Everyone will either be further up the enthusiast/power user ladder or will have switched to phones and tablets.
