alt Hacker NewsThis ignores that Apple is unable to manufacture enough computers per year to be disruptive.
25m Macs in calendar year 2025. Lenovo manufactured 19m PCs in Q4 2025.
Apple simply lacks volume.

Weird, never had an issue getting my hands on an Apple laptop of any desired configuration, even odd keyboard layouts for the region (UK and Sweden).
Had plenty of issues getting specific specification Thinkpads: because they are largely sold through resellers and they don’t stock all SKUs I suppose.
So Lenovo wins in both quantity and quality (at least for T/X series), let alone configurability.
okay dude, how many phones did it manufacture in Q4 2025?
87m

do you think lenovo would rather manufacture 19m PCs or 87m phones? i don't know, you raise an interesting point that is wrong.
I imagine the company that currently ships 250m iPhones a year can figure that part out.
