clearly, you aren't thinking hard enough.
perhaps taking off your apple-tinted glasses might do you some serious harm...ignorance is bliss, after all.
you are correct Sir ... to a degree at least ....
Meaning I was not thinking hard enough for all the years we sent money to IBM/Lenovo, Dell and Sony only to see the quality nosedive on the Lenovo and Dell machines, poor screen quality, plastic feel, soft keyboards, heat, and then the problems came ... hell my blood pressure goes up just thinking about the "old days".
Those are the same days I spoke like you, (although not in such a smart assed tone), how Apple products where weird toys for graphics/publishing people, and how the iPhone was a toy and wouldn't catch on, blah blah blah.
From my first hand EXPERIENCE, not my opinion,
from a day to day user experience, typing, handling, carrying/, looking at the screen, maintenance and repairs my Company's experience is a thousand times better with Apple products than it ever was with PC laptops. Hell, they missed the boat, lol, they're designing laptops with designs on the lid, an array of colors etc etc but all that can't hide their faults ...
Not only me but all of my staff are so happy with Apple's products ... not one of us think the competitors notebooks are better in any regard when considering 'day to day' user experience .... some of you missed that, we're not talking components at all ...
And, like I said in my original post this is 'OS aside' this a computer to computer comparison based on using these notebook brands for years, not reading about their new latest/greatest spec's online ...
Yes, I guess I am a "fanboy" ... BIGTIME

Thanks to Lenovo, Dell, HP, Sony and Toshiba they've FORCED us to be this way.
I'm glad they did !!
