An interesting tidbit is that my 3 year old Lenovo is less noisy than my MacBook Pro when running full steam ahead both of them. That and the miserable keyboard is my primary woes against it.
OSX is also funny because today it isn't that far ahead. Rather, compared to my Ubuntu there are several places where it is utterly behind. Yes, there are more glitches in Ubuntu currently but looking at from where they came, this is a deep and major improvement. There are also places where the UX of Ubuntu outright beats OSX. There is also the whole part about the App Store and the want for my credit card, but that is another story.
The touchpad and multitouch features of OSX/MacBook hardware is awesome though. I really like that.

Maybe it's fan design, maybe it's the solid aluminum casing (dense materials transmit sound more readily), but I don't really intend to dispute that. The author has interpreted other people's troubleshooting questions as user hostile, and then attributed this as some sort of Mac-exclusive cultural phenomenon. An assertion at which I laugh aloud... from the belly. I think Lenovo laptops are great hardware. They continue to be some of the best engineered machines on the planet. IBM was putting roll cages in ThinkPads when Apple was still building Mac laptops out of plastic and tin. The new unibody Macs are an incredible design amongst many. As you've observed though, you don't have to fall in to one camp or the other. It's perfectly fine to like both without vilifying the other.
