Not always happy with the company policies, but you have to admit; their stuff is sweet. http://www.tuaw.com/2013/04/24/apple-tops-the-list-for-best-performing-windows-laptops/ (But the #2 ranked Acer Aspire at less than half the price is a pretty decent deal) Cheers! -- Smug Title Comments Not always happy with the company policies, but you have to admit; their stuff is sweet. http://www.tuaw.com/2013/04/24/apple-tops-the-list-for-best-performing-windows-laptops/ (But the #2 ranked Acer Aspire at less than half the price is a pretty decent deal) Cheers! -- Smug

My reason was that I wanted to develop iOS, so you must have a mac. Bought the cheapest Mac Mini, and guess what: my problems with misbehaving software are over. My mac can crash too, but it happens very rarely and usually when I provoke it by experiments. You can have also a clean windows installation, optimized, removed all crap... and you get it for half price than Mac. It works great for office application, no fantasy, no crashes. But once you start to mess with Eclipse, go to Mac. Unix based systems simply either work or not work. The grey zone in between of working somehow and not performing as supposed to is reserved for other systems. You will save a lot of hair pulled from your head just because something is not right (they used to call it Fatal Error before). Frogman Comments Nice score!
