Over the last few weeks, I've been doing a very informal visual poll of notebooks being used at my local coffee shop when I've stopped in there.
Of all the notebooks being used, over 80% of those have been Macs - and, of those, 90% have been MacBook Airs. Both 11 and 13 inches. The remaining 10% seem to be older MacBooks / Pros. I have yet to see a 12" MacBook, nor any Pro with the touch bar.
There's a couple of tablets (iOS and Android) - but all are being used for viewing materials / websites / apps / games - little actual real computing.
Now, I suppose that might imply this particular Starbucks' clientele (students to suits) needs are more geared towards writing than heavy-duty graphic manipulation, and they appreciate price and portability over gimmicks, but it does make one wonder why Apple seems so determined to kill off a clearly successful real computer...
