> What percent of the working population are video editors?

Most of the working population could get away with using basically any computer - if you're marketing a computer as 'Pro' you're talking to a specific subset of that. (Or you're just banking on it working as aspirational marketing and don't actually care about professionals)

”Pro” doesn't implicitly mean ”Pro Video Editor”.

I wasn't specifically referring to video editors (although the comment I replied to was), just anyone that needs/benefits from more powerful hardware to do their job.

I was just calling out the idea that professionals being a small portion of literally everyone is a useful argument to make. How many markets aren't?
