New MacBook Pro Has Already Outsold All Competing Laptops This YearApple's latest
MacBook Pro has already outsold all competing laptops this year, according to
new data 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's claim the new MacBook Pro had
received more online orders than any previous MacBook Pro as of November 2. Apple has also reportedly told its overseas manufacturers to
expect strong MacBook Pro shipments to last 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 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, but common for any new Apple product.
Slice Intelligence extracts detailed information from hundreds of millions of aggregated and anonymized e-receipts. The research firm has a panel of 4.4 million online shoppers signed up for its services such as Slice and Unroll.me. It is also the exclusive e-commerce data provider for the NPD's Checkout Tracking e-commerce service.
