I'm not going to bother with you Apple sheep/fanboy's, you're too busy reading and believing every little thing Apple spoon feeds you, have fun being ripped off.
Except you just did?

And yes, I do think that's good. About 35 seconds to boot into a useable desktop, or 12 seconds if you use an SSD

(start at 23sec)

Please post a video of you cold booting your Windows machine, without SSD, to a useable desktop (ie, where you are able to open a program), as I've never seen a Windows PC boot in under 60 seconds, despite playing around with them for 10 or 12 years.

I mean, this one, overclocked to 4Ghz, 6GB of ram, and with an SSD takes longer to boot than a standard macbook with regualr clockwork hard drive

(Start at 50 sec)

I very rarely actually base my opinions on what manufacturers say about their product - I prefer to actually try them, and use them where I can, and also use widespread reviews/contributions to determine whether I think it's for me or not. For example, Apple state the Lightning adapter does NOT support the iPod out (or Video) function, but only digital audio line out. However, reports are beginning to emerge it does (at least in some cases) support iPod control and audio out.

I used PC's and Windoze for many many years before buying a Mac. I first began to toy with them about 5 years before buying one, and used one every opportunity I could to learn how they worked and see if I liked them. It was pretty apparent early on the OS was just a joy to use in comparison to Windoze, and after testing further, it was a no brainer. Haven't looked back, and wouldn't even entertain the idea of switching back
