Nearly 21 percent of current Windows laptop owners and 25 percent of current Windows desktop owners intend to switch to a Mac within the next six months, according to a recent survey<\/a> conducted by market research firm Verto Analytics.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Verto Analytics told MacRumors the survey is based on 6,000 current Windows PC owners age 18 and older in the United States.<\/p>\n

Of the respondents, those with an average annual income of $150,000 or more showed the highest likelihood of switching to a Mac.<\/p>\n

\"\"
By comparison, the research firm said at least 98 percent of current Mac owners surveyed intend to stick with Mac as their next computer. In other words, only 2 percent of current Mac users surveyed are planning to switch to another computer brand, be it running Windows or another operating system.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is experiencing a resurgence<\/a> in the post-PC world with an attractive lineup of devices, such as the new Surface Pro<\/a> and Surface Studio<\/a> desktop computer, which have even caught the attention of some Apple aficionados.<\/p>\n

Last December, Microsoft said more people were switching from Mac to Surface<\/a> devices than ever before following the supposed “disappointment” of the 2016 MacBook Pro, particularly among professional users.<\/p>\n

In April, however, Microsoft said Surface revenue declined 26 percent<\/a> to $831 million last quarter, down from $1.1 billion in the year-ago quarter. By comparison, Apple reported Mac revenue of $5.84 billion<\/a> last quarter, a 14 percent increase from $5.1 billion in the year-ago quarter, on the strength of a new MacBook Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s new Surface devices should help it combat that decline, while Lenovo, HP, and Dell, the top three worldwide Windows PC vendors, saw shipment growth last quarter<\/a>, according to market research firm Gartner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
