They could at significant expense.

But why would they? The users don't buy for performance.

Basically every laptop from here on out is going to be benchmarked against these devices.

And battery life seems to be the sleeper performance metric here. Every review is going to be "you could get 6+ more hours if you just bought the macbook"
