New MacBook Pro Has Already Outsold All Competing Laptops This Year

Apple's latest MacBook Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) has already outsold all competing laptops this year, according to new data (https://intelligence.slice.com/apples-macbook-pro-launch/) shared by research firm Slice Intelligence.

Slice Intelligence says the new MacBook Pro accumulated more revenue from online orders during its first five days of availability than the Microsoft Surface Book, ASUS Chromebook Flip, Dell Inspiron 2-in-1, and Lenovo Yoga 900, based on e-receipt data from 12,979 online shoppers in the United States.





The new MacBook Pro generated over seven times the revenue that the 12-inch MacBook did over its first five days of availability, according to Slice Intelligence. If accurate, that means it took the new MacBook Pro just five days to accumulate 78% of all the revenue generated by the 12-inch MacBook since its April 2015 launch.

The data follows Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/phil-schiller/)'s claim the new MacBook Pro had received more online orders than any previous MacBook Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/02/phil-schiller-new-macbook-pro-interview/) as of November 2. Apple has also reportedly told its overseas manufacturers to expect strong MacBook Pro shipments to last (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/08/apple-suppliers-strong-macbook-shipments-2017/) until at least the end of 2016.  





The new MacBook Pro's apparent early success may come as a surprise to a vocal crowd of professional users (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/02/professional-mac-users-complaints-grow-apple-event/) who have criticized, among other things, the notebook's lack of ports and limited RAM. Schiller said the early criticism and debate has been "a bit of a surprise" to him (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/02/phil-schiller-new-macbook-pro-interview/), but common for any new Apple product.
