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.
