What do you mean by flexibility?  That is exactly why I have never 
bought an intel laptop.  Mac laptops have for me out lasted wintel 
laptops in long term usability two to one.  That, I attribute to 
flexible (supperior) design.  Since I discovered Linux I have been able 
to revive previously useless laptops but until Linux came of age your 
comment describes my feelings towards the Intel platform.
