Apple the most profitable PC company in the world (What were they?)

Amelio and Jobs) sought to reposition Apple in the PC Industry and to create a sustainable competitive advantage.(What did they try? What succeeded? What did they decide not to do?)

and change in the market to a commodities point of view for PCs put Apple’s differentiation strategy at risk.
