I tend to dismiss these sorts of overtly negative articles out of hand. While it's true that Apple could probably follow Intel's roadmap more closely, it's been years since they have promoted their platform using "speeds and feeds." Windows OEMs have no choice but to differentiate that way. As a user, I care less about having the most recent hardware (which will be outdated in 6 months anyway); my focus is on purchasing something reliable, and as many others have mentioned, these days most laptops are "fast enough."

Indeed I think specs are one of the most poor ways to differentiate yourself right now in the laptop space. The way to differentiate yourself is to get your users to stop thinking about their laptops at all. Make it work the right way. Make using it intuitive and easy. Make it reliable and secure. The less people notice it the happier they will be.
