One major criticism I have for laptop computers is the lack of finess and precision in the track pad. Anything a laptop can do, a desktop can do better. I am beginning to realize this rule has changed, especially since buying the new MacBook. I think its strongest suit is the integrated gesture controls in the track pad. These work so well that they literally change the way a laptop can be used. Granted, not every program supports these gestures, but I suspect that will be solved in time.
I think there are still reasons to have a PC, especially in a desktop, but for a laptop, the Mac is essential.

You forgot that part about how Macs are only good at art related things, and in general not good for anything else. At least you can bootcamp now.

True, though I don’t plan to game on this laptop anyway. Anything work related or otherwise can be done just fine on it though.
