If you don't like the hardware you shouldn't be buying it.

- CivilEngineer 9y agoIs it? It used to be. And you can buy Chromebooks or Microsoft Surface products if you want strong hardware/software integration.
- cheeze 9y agoI feel like the "stable" part of things has been eroding away lately. I've been very disappointed with Apple over the past few OS rollouts. The new FS went flawlessly but there have been so many fit and finish bugs, I feel like Microsoft is making it.

- solarkraft 9y agoI hear it's not very good/stable now, but running a Hackintosh system of Snow Leopard - Yosemite on various hardware worked pretty well. And that's without them trying to optimize it (I guess).
