I'm not an Apple hardware guy. I hear a lot of people complaining about their recent laptops, which makes me wonder if they're losing their edge.

  I'm one of those people, I thought my fancy new 16" MBP would make up for my previous-gen lousy 13" but oooooh was I wrong. However, they would probably have to do even worse to get me to switch away from their laptops altogether. First, because a few generations ago they were so good I still (irrationally?) hope they'll get back on track, especially with ARM. Second, because I have a hard time believing anyone else's high-end laptops are, on balance, any better. Third, because I'm all-in on iPhone/iPad and think I would miss the integration. Fourth, because for work I need to use software that's only available on Windows or Mac, and I haven't seen anything to convince me that Windows would be better. Finally, I plan to learn Xcode, which will lock me in permanently, but I realize that's my own fault. :-) I don't know if these reasons are typical, but I suspect they are at least a subset of the ten or so most common motivations for us complainers to stick it out. Can't wait to get rid of this 16" MBP though! Grumble...
