I have a 2015 era MBP that I use infrequently for work and I'm always impressed when I pull it out and it's still at 60% battery and wakes up from sleep despite being stowed in a cabinet for a few months.

The same can't really be said for Windows, I think a lot of that comes down to vertical vs horizontal integration. The majority of issues I encounter with the core OS usually come down to a dodgy driver (usually from Intel) that once removed and replaced with the Microsoft baseline driver resolves the issue.

I'm disappointed to see and hear all the issues people seem to be having with the Surface line, I would have expected those devices to be rock solid. I'm not sure if that speaks to a fundamental issue with Windows or something else but it just goes to show how well Apple is handling it's hardware/software integration.
