I've seen much smaller laptops than Apples current lineup. I've seen larger too. I don't really see what point you're trying to make here.

You're lying, it's that simple. If you're running windows, you see the blue screen of death (or nothing) or you press ctrl, alt, del, all the time.
No-one here is lying. Your persistent and false claims that all Windows based PC's crash every 5 minutes is the kind of zealot like attitude that has given Mac users the reputation they so despise. Yes some PC's crash, but generally XP' trapping of errors allows it to gracefully terminate the wayward application without disrupting others. So called blue screens of death are extremely rare these days. Somewhat funnily, the only thing which misbehaves at all on my Windows system is the Quicktime plugin for Firefox, which happens to be an Apple product (this is a known bug, if your wondering).

As a further counter example to your point, I only need to draw your attention to the recent RSS (Random Shutdown Syndrome) on the earlier Macbooks to demonstrate how frequent crashes can happen to anyone.

You've had more problems than you would have with a Mac.
Again, simply untrue. Most problems are caused by users being somewhat ignorant and clicking on unscrupulous adverts.
