The best Windows notebook PC is a Mac: study

  > why? The simple answer is cleanliness. To run Windows on a Mac requires Apple's own boot camp software followed by a manual install of Windows. The result is a ‘clean' installation, without third-party add-ons and with very good drivers. The more ‘rubbish' on a computer the more likely it is to have problems. Tl;dr: They used bogus metrics that favor clean installs, Apple's notebooks were the only ones they installed a "clean" windows on.

    It is funny -- Mac might be the most popular "Microsoft Signature" install.

  The actual report's at https://www.soluto.com/reports https://www.soluto.com/reports, but it seems a little slanted to me. The Aspire seems something like twice as reliable, but the Mac wins because it boots 4 seconds faster?
