  If you compare a random older Windows laptop to a new or nearly new Mac, sure. But new Windows/x86 PCs have gotten pretty efficient.

    I'm comparing laptops of similar age and in the same price range.

  Exactly. So feature-wise it can work, and out of our "I proudly spent $2500 on my fancy Apple laptop"-tech bubble, people already learned to settle on something hotter.
