If you're in the habit of occasionally challenging your preconceptions
do this little experiment: Visit Dell, just for convenience - or pick
another if you wish, and configure a laptop with the same features and
specs as a MacBook Pro - ignore the elegance of the OS and its heart of
BSD...even ignore the simplicity and speed with which it runs multiple
GNU/Linux distros in nothing more difficult or risky than a simple file
constituting a Parallels Desktop VM, and get back to us with either a
verification of your comparison factor or a new-found appreciation for
the value of opinions based upon verifiable facts.
