He historically recommended macbooks because OSX was better. Having non-power users switch OS just doesn't seem like a very friendly recommendation to me. Maybe OSX is better, but it just isn't that better (FTFF). My reason for preferring a macbook has always been about the hardware. Much better trackpads (only a few of the newest utlrabooks seem to have have finally gotten it right..in 2012), higher quality build, and I love the command-key (granted, this is largely due to OSX and how consistently it's used). They simply make it more efficient to use a small form factor.
