I've had a mbp for my last two laptops and I'm done with them as well. Finder, iTunes, the horrorshow that is xcode slay me. My rmbp has been crash happy and refuses to sleep (buggy video drivers). The wireless card has been awful (stops working). And for a business user support for hardware failures is laughable (2 week Depot!)

The only compelling app has been cord. It far and away is a better remote desktop client. Well that and having a real shell.

I've been buying dell latitudes as of late for my devs and they've been awesome. Windows 8 is patently terrible though.

To be fair windows 8.1 isn't that bad. I'm writing something at the moment which returns it to a usable state through group and security policies and registry tweaks. By definition it doesn't add anything to the OS like start menu replacements but it makes it usable for desktop and corporate users.
