Drop their laptop line? Apple sold over 5 million PCs last quarter, and easily over half of those are laptops. Worldwide PC shipments dropped by 11.8% YoY from Q2 2014, but Apple enjoyed a 16.1% gain.
Of course the analysts are blaming it on "people waiting for Windows 10", just like they blamed the start of the now 3+ year PC sales decline on "people waiting for Windows 8". :)
