   What would the unit sales be, though? Assuming an average selling   
   price of, say, $3000, that translates into 11 million units for the   
   year. If the average time a user keeps a machine is 3 years, that   
   means the installed base is a bit over 30 million Macs.   
      
   This would be roughly consistent with the idea that something like 10%   
   of users on each platform have Steam accounts. It also means that   
   macOS is left in the dust by desktop Linux.
