Having used many non-Apple laptops, "industry standard" means complete and unmitigated garbage to me. "Industry standard" laptops are awful to use and only get better once you approach Apple's price range - at which point why give up your Mac?

No, really, does anyone actually enjoy using cheap laptops? The only use case I think they would excel at is as a thin client for VMWare/Cisco virtualization solutions, or as a barebones terminal for Linux distros (at which point anything with a keyboard works for you).

Anyways, if laptops do security the same way laptops do touchpads, I would not be excited to depend on that. At all.
