Over the past few decades, personal computers have significantly broken away from Mac computers in terms of sales. When Microsoft introduced Windows 95, personal computer sales increased significantly, and sales discrepancies between the two platforms became even more apparent. According to analysts, the peak was 2004, when PC sales surpassed Mac computer sales by 55 times. In 2004, 182.5 million PCs and a total of 3.25 million Macs were sold. However, the situation began to change in 2000 with the release of the original iMac. By 2010, statistics showed that out of every 20 computers bought, 1 is an Apple computer. If experts take into account the number of iPhone and iPad sold, then it is possible to say that sales of Apple products are almost equal to the sales of personal computers in the world.
Especially it is worth considering that now comes the era of post-PC, and the focus of consumer attention is shifting towards tablets. Microsoft tried to make a difference in the market with the release of Windows 8, but the release of Windows 10 was a major influencing factor. The main reason is the fact that it was the most user-friendly Windows version, which made it equal to or even better than Mac. Windows already had a number of advantages over Mac, but the latter always stayed relevant due to its user-friendly interface. However, Windows 10 caught up to Mac in this regard, which made Mac sales decrease even more in relation to Windows sales. Therefore, there is a strong trend of Windows dominating the market and increasing its share by reducing the relative market share of Mac.
Mac “dock” is a highly useful instrument that offers convenience for users by allowing them to have immediate access to essential applications and programs.

At first, this element causes a lot of controversy among new users, but setting it up correctly helps bring interaction with the Mac to a new level.
