Since 1984, Apple has designed and manufactured an array of PCs under the Mac name. The product lineup includes desktops like the iMac and Mac Pro, as well as notebooks MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.

In 2016, Apple shipped 13.4 million MacBook units worldwide, revealed Statista and TrendForce data. In the next twelve months, this figure rose by 18% to 15.8 million. Statistics show that 2018 and 2019 witnessed a downsizing trend, with MacBook shipments falling to 12.8 million and 12.6 million units, respectively.
