Wonder how much of that is enterprises refreshing their Macbook lineups. And compared to Q1 2016, it is just 1% increase.

I think the elephant in the room is that the Q1 2017 number reflects a quarter when they refreshed the Macbook product line for the first time in years. That should have resulted in a big infusion of growth.

You are right, refreshing a popular line should (generally) inevitably result in an infusion of growth.

What it's done is demonstrate the popularity of the product line.
