I know you're being sarcastic but some notebook manufacturers can't even get the USB ports right side up. Most of them cut corners all over the place, and unless you spend an amount equivalent to the price of a MacBook ($1500+) you won't find a notebook that can equal it on the market. I hesitate to say this but from what I have seen personally no one puts as much thought or care into every last detail of a machine as Apple - from hardware to software they pore over little things that all add up to make me happy. Macs have long had 2 volume settings for headphones and speaker audio outputs (so you don't blast your ears by mistake, or play something out loud you meant to play quietly), and similarly iPods pause the audio when the headphones are unplugged. Simple details that most companies would never think of on their own, but that give you a warm fuzzy feeling when you discover them.
