The EliteBooks aren't even close to Macs in engineering. They're probably the closest thing I've found, but there are teething issues with all of them - like poor speakers, or noisy 3.5mm jacks, or poor display, or iffy keyboards, or poor trackpads.

Apple get all of this stuff right almost all the time, in almost every machine they build.

In fact, I only say almost above because it seems like they would have at least one lemon, but I can't think of what it is.
