The same can't really be said for Windows, I think a lot of that comes down to vertical vs horizontal integration. The majority of issues I encounter with the core OS usually come down to a dodgy driver (usually from Intel) that once removed and replaced with the Microsoft baseline driver resolves the issue.

I'm disappointed to see and hear all the issues people seem to be having with the Surface line, I would have expected those devices to be rock solid. I'm not sure if that speaks to a fundamental issue with Windows or something else but it just goes to show how well Apple is handling it's hardware/software integration.

With my MBP I can close it and throw it in my bag without a second thought. I wouldn't dare try that with the SB because nine times out of then I'll end up with a dead battery.

This was 10 years ago, and even then I didn't understand why a crucial feature like this wasn't given more attention.
