No one can make laptops as great as Apples. It isn't because of skill though, no one else can expect to sell as many of the same model. The current MacBook Air is magic and the Retina Pros are amazing performance wise. All while retaining a great look and build quality. Hard to do that when you sell dozens of skus the way sony, dell, hp, Lenovo, etc do.
- 72deluxe 13y agoVery true, mainly because nobody can expect to sell as many as the same model. What always strikes me is that when you go to a PC laptop, the keyboard flexes in the middle. This is rubbish. The MacBook does not. EDIT: Why downvotes? Does your laptop flex in the middle when you press the H or G key? PC manufacturers seem to not bother with much bracing there.
- sz4kerto 13y ago> Why downvotes? Because the basis of your opinion is anecdotal and seemingly you haven't used business category PC laptops. They have disadvantages compared to Macbooks (heavier, clunkier, and usually more expensive than a Macbook Pro), but many advantages as well (much-much better cooling -- I hate my rMBP because of it's constant cooling issues; much-much better warranty -- if it breaks, you can get a replacement in a few hours).
- 72deluxe 13y agoAh ok. I have used HPs in business when I was in charge of of the IT department and you did get a lot for your money but they flexed. I had some turn up bust or with duff batteries. Some also had poor fittings on the keyboards, particularly around the edges where they met the body casing. For ~£750 laptop this was poor. This was the ProBook line, in addition to other lines. And the screens were dreadful, with washed out colours. The Sonys we had in were better but I had some blow up. The Toshibas were alright but again, flexing.
- sz4kerto 13y agoProBooks are low/mid category laptops. You want to compare Macbooks with EliteBooks.
- raverbashing 13y agoI use Macs for one simple reason: Mac OS X The hardware is good, but not "insanely great". And even though Mavericks is currently not stable enough for me, it's much more useful for me than Linux. (I won't even touch Windows right now)
- qwerta 13y agoI prefer other brands, but it is great to have MacBooks as fallback options. It is only maker who still makes 16:10 screens.
