Maybe it’s time to cut the Mac mini, Mac Studio from Apple’s computer line-up

I’ve long argued that Apple’s product line-up has gotten too confusing. That includes the Mac. I’d recommend cutting the Mac mini and either the Mac Pro or the Mac Studio as they represent just 1% of U.S. Mac sales each, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP).

Here’s how I propose the line-up would be streamlined: there will be one desktop for professionals/prosumers (the Mac Pro) and one for consumers (the iMac). The all-in-one could be offered in 24-inch and 27-inch versions. 

The laptop line would offer the MacBook Pro for professionals and the MacBook Air for consumers. Of course, the desktop and laptops would be continue to be offered in different sizes.
