@AlecDalek Just curious if you really feel that way about Apple and Mac users? In the early Mac+Intel days, I agreed with you fully. My PowerPC Mac, albeit a slower CPU cycle speed, was just as fast and even more stable than equivalent Intel Macs at the time. Now, however, Intel is proving to be a leader in the CPU industry, and I have no doubts that Apple's involvement with them has partially led to this. Apple is integrally involved in the design of the CPUs that land in their laptops. Just today, Intel announced the industry-first 4-quad mobile processors. Until another architecture can match their rate of innovation and development, Intel has my vote. I just want Apple to retain a "universal" approach to architecture support for the foreseeable future, in case something does come along.

One can't judge a Mac from its outwardly appearance. Both of those are Macs. One is durable and reliable, the other is sleek and sexy. Macs are because of their overall engineering, not just the hardware or software.
