Of course Ive is disinterested in design. At least in Apple design.  The proof is in the products released lately. 

I predict once every lens, light, sensor and emitter has been buried within the screen, there will be no more new phones.   I mean, once the Holy Grail of 100% screen coverage has been accomplished, what's left?  Everyone seems SO focused on this.  I could care less if there is a notch or punch out or dot or what-have-you.

Of course this report will be attacked as invalid by the usual suspects here but it puts all the “gates” and screams of Apple ignoring QA into perspective. In the real world Apple is tops in quality and reliability. If you believe all the crap that is spewed in tech blog comment sections you would think Apple is at the bottom of the barrel in those metrics. Nothing could be further from the truth. The hater narrative is confined to blogs like this one. Only here and in the tech media is Apple constantly doomed or condemned to failure. In the real world people use Apple products and are happy with them.

So because people disagree with this "fluff" survey we're "the usual suspects"?  Got it.  You're as biased as this survey.

The way I read it, "a strong preference" is the main reason people buy Mac's.  A strong preference?  Not reliability or speed or value?  

Where's the Windows users opinions?  Oh...they didn't ask Windows users.  

I use both Mac and Windows, so I'm not a "usual suspect" but give me more than a survey of only Mac users if you're going to do a survey of satisfaction that insinuates a comparison to Windows users.

"yes Windows updates are garbage but  malware is more prevalent only because so many people use Windows, and the Windows interface hasn't been terrible/inconstant (this is subjective I know) since Windows 8."

1. If you're a pro and can't be sure when you'll be without your main tool because Windows decided to take over for three hours, that seems pretty disqualifying to me.

2. It doesn't matter why there are more viruses that are far easier to be infected with, it matters that there are.

3. This....    Hot. Garbage.

We get it.  You hate Windows for whatever reason.  Most people don't spend ANY TIME changing their IP ADDRESS on a regular basis so your example is reaching.  The truth is, we can go back and forth with HOT GARBAGE ways that macOS does something worse or less intuitive than Windows.  WHO CARES?   You're so biased against Windows you probably can't even see the improvements MS has made in the latest Windows.  For me and my clients, Windows is GREAT.  We don't get malware or viruses.  We don't change our IP addresses every day.  And Windows Updates rarely intrude when you actually take the time to configure when "Active hours" are.  

I have a client with an Arts Dept (all using Trash Can Mac Pro's) and were waiting for the new Mac Pro to upgrade.  Now, they will be looking at Windows Workstations for half the cost, the same or better upgradability and performance, and can STILL run their Adobe CC.  Apple just lost a customer (and I'd bet more than just this client).

Here's a question for you...this client has 12 Windows users and 8 Mac users.  Guess who has more issues?  Hint -- not the 12 Windows users.

No answer about the performance? The quoted numbers are ridiculously low. Based on them, this should be a 1/5 star item and a hard pass from every possible potential buyer. That can't be right.

From what I've researched, RAID 0 does not add performance like you think it should.  Possibly on writes, but I don't even see that here.  RAID 1 is supposed to double read performance, but not RAID 0.  

Maybe what I read is wrong, so don't shoot me.
