This is how I read this blog post:
I am getting a new laptop, hooray! My requirements for the perfect laptop are:
1. Thing
2. Thing 2
3. Thing 3
4. Thing 4
In the end I decided I don't need things 2, 3 or 4 and just bought a laptop.

You tried just about the lowest end Apple laptop and compared it to a custom built laptop. The blog post didn't explain why other brands/models were discounted.
I also find it strange that a requirement of '10 hours of battery life' made the initial list of requirements and was then dropped, but something like "runs Windows well, which I need because of Camtasia" didn't factor into the equation.
- fekberg 13y ago> "Just bought a laptop" That's not really true, when I started looking I had no idea I could configure the hardware in a laptop like this. For some reason I imagined touch and 10 hour battery life being the most important thing and when I couldn't get that I decided to let go of the touch requirement - that is when I got the MacBook Air. It was suppose to be really good as it had the newer Haswell i7, sure it runs Windows OK but the drivers are crap. I was unhappy with the purchase and decided that I wanted to look outside the scope of ultrabooks but still not get a 4KG beast as that had been my previous device and it was just a hassle to take anywhere at all. I did consider other laptops, like AlienWare but when I went to try one out I felt it was too heavy and bulky. > "runs Windows well" All laptops should. Why even bother having that in the requirements?
