Today's Mac's are designed for the other 98 percent of users.
There is literally nothing the current Mac "can't" do.
99 percent of all average users are not only satisifed with Macs, but love them more than their generic $299 Dell laptops.
True, there may be some special niche techie function a off the shelf Mac can't do, but for the rest of the world it's Mac all the way.
"The computer for the rest of us" - wasn't that their slogan back in the antediluvian era of, oh, the 1980s? Do they know that, as they're paying you to shill for them, you're using twenty-year-old marketing materials?
99% of all "average users"...average Mac users? They're only 5% of the universe of computer users. And they don't "love them more than their generic $299 Dell laptops" because...there is no generic $299 Dell laptop! BWAHAHAHAHA! Even then, have you surveyed all those folks? I have a Macbook Pro 17 and a Sony Vaio desktop and I don't "love" one more than the other. They are machines. I pick one to use based on how well it does the task at hand. I save my love for my wife, son, cat, and God.
"for the rest of the world it's Mac all the way" No, for 5% of the people in the world who own computers, it's Mac, and even then, it's not Mac all the way (see above).
That's twice you used the term "Microsoft fanboys" in postings that read like Onion parodies of the cultish ravings of Apple freaks. From this, I surmise that a) you have an extremely dry wit and I'm not getting it, or b) you're fifteen-years-old and need to get out of your parents' basement more, or c) you drank the koolaid really believe this stuff.
It's a tool, not a way of life.
