God's laptop

Hi Andy,

I was checking MBP with retina a week ago and was very disappointed by stability of the system. Namely, open terminal -> type top (aka unix task manager) -> try to view photos or browse not heavy websites-> watch to top in the terminal. You will see what these apps using 40-60% of CPU regardless of the actual application usage. And the screen is not that great in comparing to my lenovo w510 FHD.

how does CPU usage relates to stability of the system?
 
I am just pointing out that software part is raw and needs to be fixed. I think you can find more evidence exploring unix terminal

This is very vague. It also has very little to do with the OS.

I haven't had any stability problem with recent *nix system. OSX comes from the BSD family. I have been using OSX as a VM host for the past 3-4 years and it has been extremely solid.
