“For the past few years, I find I’ve been repeating

even less incentive to trade up for anything but a Mac.”

This time around, the big attraction is the Unity interface, which
borrows elements from both Mac and Windows and ends up with the
worst of both worlds. Outside of that…well, my
not-yet-three-years-old notebook still doesn’t suspend and resume
correctly.”
