If you only use Apple hardware, sure. Otherwise, it has the same driver issues as any OS.
That's a nonsense claim. I've yet to come across a peripheral that doesn't work with OS X out of the box.
You ever tried putting a different graphics card or network/wifi card in your mac? We're not talking USB drivers here..
Saying it has "no driver issues" is a nonsense claim. What, did they include all possible drivers? Of course not. Instead, they've created a consumption pattern where their customers only buy their products.

No, that's just a Clevo rebrander.
Anyway, that was what it was in 10.6. Nowadays Ubuntu does all those things too to a certain extent, and it works without painful maintenance on a desktop machine. (I ran OSX on my desktop for a few years, it was very painful to upgrade, and apparently not in accordance with the EULA)
Still a great laptop OS though. And it runs rather well on macbook pros, which are the superior hardware choice in the laptop market, in my opinion.
