Apple can't sell a lot of computers for two very simple reasons:

1) The don't have the capacity. They can't make enough to supply the demand.

2) Apple is an elitist company with no interest in helping anybody but themselves, which is why smaller retailers struggle to support Apple sales.

Apple is certainly not missing many opportunities within it's target markets.

They are missing TONS of opportunities, especially in the target markets.

The have no low-end or mid-range towers for graphics, audio, and video professionals.

They have no sub-compact notebook for mobile graphics, audio, and video professionals.

They have no rugged series notebook for hardcore, mobile graphics, audio, and video professionals.

They have no tablet.

Do I need to go on?

iPod options -> 5 Models (Shuffle, Nano, Classic, Touch, iPhone)

Mac Desktop Options -> 3 Models (mini, iMac, Mac Pro)

Mac Portable Options -> 2 Models (MacBook, MacBook Pro)

Maybe Apple could learn from it's very successful iPod lineup and offer MORE options in desktops and portables.
