You compare Mac vs Windows but you say multiple times that it is the hardware that makes the difference. I agree that the Apple hardware is very good and that compared to your current work laptop it might be vastly superior. However i would liken this to comparing the build quality of a Rolls Royce to a Hyundai. When you compare a cheaper computer with a more expensive one of course there will always be differences as you do get what you pay for… However I will still point out that you could still get just as good a quality computer for much less $$$.

As for your comparison of Windows to OSX you always point out the intangible arguments like “get out of your way” or you make flawed comparison to things like resume time which is more a feature of the hardware and not the OS itself…

You have always hated Microsoft even back in 1995 when you predicted that Windows 95 was going to doom Microsoft to bankruptcy. At least you can use a OS that is nothing to do with Microsoft which I am sure makes you much happier…
