But as someone who uses both 2012 MBP and new HP Win10 laptops every day for work and play, let me say this: the Windows world might seem suddenly enticing, but you will NOT find greener pastures there, on average. That ecosystem is still a mess.
One thing that's definitely terrible on windows 10 are the updates. Stuff breaking after forced updates is normal now. This week a whole bunch of colleagues got a forced update at 10 am which broke their laptop keyboard. Apparently our IT dept is to blame for the unlucky timing, but microsoft are the ones that broke the keyboard. Every win10 device I have has had something break after a forced update. I can always fix it, but I don't know how non-technical people deal with this.
Also, the start menu is all fubared. I end up using search from the start menu, which works but is really slow. I'll get the search box and type something into it and it's 30 seconds to a minute before my text shows up there, usually missing the first 2-3 characters I typed... but not always.
Microsoft needs to have a good hard look at why they had so much trouble moving people off of XP. It's like they hit an inflection point there with the least amount of suckage.
I think you'd find plenty willing to debate you on that one!
No, pretty sure any reasonable person would call this a fumble. Even if it's unwarranted, it's still a fumble. The roll out has been plagued with bad press and very real technical problems.
Even I was considering a new one since my 2013's batteries are starting to give out, and was immediately told by people who own them "Are you sure? There are a lot of problems with the new MacBooks. You might get lucky and get a good one."
This from non-tech people.
Does this mean they lost the game? No. But Apple fumbled here. Clear and simple.
