It appears that Apple’s disappointing (for some) new Macbook Pro is benefiting Microsoft. In a blog post, Microsoft officiallyย announced that November was the month which theyย received the most sales for Surface; not just in the US, but worldwide as well. In the US, the tech giant claims that theย the “Best Buy-exclusive Surface bundle sold out on the first day.” In the UK, the companyย had the “best single week for Surface ever,” as confirmed by them. The Surface was not the only Microsoft hardware that sold out last month. The company also happily announced that the Surface Pen “became the best seller in PC Accessories on Amazon.com for over 12 hours.”
Another thing Microsoftย affirmed is that a huge amount of MacBook users are switching to the Surface than ever before. The company obtained this data through theirย trade-in program stating, “Our trade-in program for MacBooks was our best ever.” Microsoftย blames this defections in the disappointment Apple brought with the new MacBook Pro among professionals.
Apple’s haters, don’t get your hopes up and start thinking that Apple is doomed now that a couple of Mac users are switching to the Surface. Despite being so much hated, it has been reported that the new MacBook Pro is actually selling better than any other MacBook before.
