Some things from Apple are indeed superior (trackpads), but when it comes to wifi and stuff... eh. In the last three years, every OSX release would fix a wifi bug and promptly introduce a new one, and the following release would fix the new bug and regress the old. I just stopped closing the laptop, and used ethernet as much as I could. I honestly don't know if that's been finally fixed, these days, because now I just don't carry it around much. At one point wifi wouldn't work if bluetooth was turned off, and bluetooth wouldn't work if wifi was turned off. And don't get me started with the mess that is wallpaper persistency - sometimes I open the laptop and suddenly it has a wallpaper I last used 2 months ago on a completely different monitor, thank god I'm not in NSFW stuff. The HDMI port is super-sensitive, but I put that down to HDMI being a bit of a shit standard. Without saying anything, they took away the option to use the Magic Trackpad inverted, forcing people to self-harm by using that ergonomic disaster.

So no, the Apple world is ok on certain things, but as shitty as the rest in others.
