and shadow ive always had a top-spec windows laptop and a top-spec, overclocked gaming pc. are you shitting me, windows is instant response? far from it, that's ideal thinking there. just comparing the start-up times of the default browser is a joke- 64-bit IE versus 64-bit Safari. absolutely no contest. windows media player versus itunes. no contest. it's hard to describe the benefits and better 'feel' and intuition of the OS through literal words. you just have to get it and play around with it for a week and see what it's really capable of. personally, i want ease-of-use and simplicity first and foremost in a mobile laptop. my sony vaio felt like it sucked shit in comparison to this macbook; the mac touchpad in particular is an absolute godsend for laptop on-the-move easiness.
LOL YOU CAN'T COMPARE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS >.< You moron. In experiments to define the variable, you change ONLY the variable. You can't say "IE loads slower on Windows than Safari does on Mac." Of course it loads slower. IE is SHIT. Safari loads JUST as quick on a Windows computer than it does on a Mac.
Spoiler (highlight to read): Okay, maybe not exactly the same, but no human eye can tell the fucking difference.
stop trying to sound intelligent finray it's way beyond you. "you can't change the variable".
err. IE is the 'integrated' and built-in web browser of windows, your platform. safari is the integrated browser for OSX. OSX wins.
windows media player is the integrated and by-default media player for windows. itunes is the OSX equivalent. OSX wins.
im not changing any variables or picking and choosing anything preferentially. im listing the default programs that come bundled with each OS (because that's the fairest test, talking about Photoshop-Windows and Photoshop-Mac clients would
truly be "changing the variables") and comparing their performance. surely that's a fair enough way to gauge the speed and efficiency of the operating system? if windows takes 3 seconds to boot up the browser that they coded and built-in from scratch, compared to OSX with a literally instant start-up, then it seems like a fair enough 1-0 result to me.
human eye cant tell the difference? is that a joke? safari loading on snow leopard (64-bit) is EASY TO TELL as faster than safari client on windows. i literally mean you click, it's there, you can type and browse from 0.1 milliseconds after starting the process. in windows, that sort of speed and readiness doesn't happen with ANY app. sata hard-drives and their responsiveness in windows and osx explorer-mode, too. incomparable. dont dare tell me for a minute in your cocky, completely uninformed way that you know what you're talking about. use a macbook for a week with the exact same stats as your windows laptop and you will see the undeniable difference in ease and speed. the sad thing is that most of you fucks never will give it that fair chance and test, because you're too busy leaping to 101 excuses and reasons to NOT try it. because of the same intangible and unfounded, whimsical bullshit that you claim apple bases their pricing strategy on; materialist nothingness.
