Sort of... Apple Inc. manufactures the Mac (short for Macintosh- a type of apple, you see). Over the years the various other types of Apple computers have all gone out of production. Apple makes all kinds of other electronics- iphones, ipods, etc., but when you are referring to personal computers, Apples and Macs are pretty much the same thing.

No. A laptop is any computer that is portable, and can run on battery power, and small enough to fit on your lap. A Mac refers to any computer manufactured by Apple Inc. that runs the Mac OS X Software, as opposed to Windows. Desktops (Regular Computers) can be both Mac or Windows. Laptops can also be both Mac and Windows. Apple Inc. sells both Laptops and Desktops, as do comapanies that make Windows PCs

Why did Microsoft become more successful then Apple?

In what sense is Microsoft more successful than Apple? Apple has a revenue of $42.9 billion (2009 figure) compared to Microsoft's $40.2 billion (2010 figure). It is true that Microsoft is a larger company with 89,000 employees (Apple has 34,300 employees) but they are different companies doing different things which occasionally overlap but are not in direct competition. Apple produces a range of hardware - computers, phones, etc. that Microsoft does not. When they do operate in the same market, for example Apple's iPod and Microsoft's Zune, Apple is around 10 times more successful than Microsoft.
