That's easy it can't. They pick a few test and lean in their favor and that's it. How do I know? Because MACs have the same internal parts as PCs. Same hardware. Saying a portal of windows on a Mac is faster than windows on a dedicated machine is nonsense. It's all sales hype. They say one thing now to sell and they'll counteract their own statement a year from now as they have in the past. As far as windows goes that's just one part of a PC. PCs can run many unix based operating systems including OS X. What you mean to say is OS X on a mac runs faster than Windows on a PC. Might be true but then again I'd rather have twice the functionality and more important, function with performance. I've owned both.
The whole big "Mac's are so good for media" etc. junk was when they used the IBM based G4/5 processors which ran at lower clocked cycle speeds but were able to accomplish more operations per cycle. IBM yanked those chips from Apple and uses their fab plants to make the chips for motorola phones and Playstation IIIs. Now a Mac is nothing but a GUI and a sales hype that's designed for people who want less control over your system, so less errors occur because just like with planes most of the errors are user related.
Mac uses intel parts. So it will be no wonder if their "slim" laptop is a reconfigured one of these.

And it looks like my assumptions might be dead on.
