Macbook's run slower than Windows counterparts

macs can dual boot windows.....yes...yes it can. but windows runs slower on macs coz of bootcamp software. so your "worst case" that you speak of is another term for "completely desperate".

macs are meant to be used to mac OS. end of story. anything else and one would be shooting themselves in the foot.

@princejb134 I'm still using a Windows Phone that I got in 2011 , no reason to upgrade as it still works & btw Samsung STILL USES HEADPHONE JACKS ON THEIR PHONES , CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR THE CHEAP BASTARDS AT APPLE

this is exactly what kabaneri means when he says they lack innovation.
back in the day, nobody thought mobile pcs could get smaller than laptop. people were comfortable with that idea until tablets came out. similarly now, people are comfortable with wearables, laptops and tablets, phones etc but surely theres something that could come completely out of left field that could change the game.....this is something apple was good at doing when Steve Jobs was there....now they have your thinking of "well we cant do much more, lets just make incremental upgrades."
