Geez guys...Slow down for a minute. :-). Give me the benefit of the doubt, will you. :-) Most comments indicate that all my complaints are fixable by tweaking

Geez guys...Slow down for a minute. :-). Give me the benefit of the doubt, will you. :-) Most comments indicate that all my complaints are fixable by tweaking settings. But please look at the problem from a regular users perspective. The settings that we think easy to adjust are just impossible for regular people. I mostly bought HP, and expensive HP's. I bought Toshiba and Sony laptops as well. I also bought low end notebooks that cost as much as an iPad or more. My reasonable expectation was that they should perform at a similar level for simple tasks like...I don't know word processing. They did not. There is really something terribly wrong the PC industry has done. They've built crappy products that are eye sores. I am not trying to day that Macs are perfect. They are not. But they are better...way better.
