Off the top of my head, I believe the MBPr has a SIGNIFICANTLY better battery life under OS X than the Yoga 2 Pro, the build quality isn't quite as good (hinges issues, trackpad isn't as good), and the MBPr screen comes with unmatched color calibration out of the factory.
Battery: Looping videos, definitely superior. General productivity on a usefully outfitted system, superior to a very slightly lesser degree than the battery size differences would lead you to expect.
Screen: OK sure, they're decently calibrated - not that there aren't still noticeable differences when you do calibrate them.
Trackpad: It isn't as good - I hear this all the time on everything, and OK sure, in terms of multi-finger gestures some pads on the Windows machines are decidedly inferior. But maybe you forgot about
the giant 13-inch trackpad that's right in front of your face that is actually even more usable.
Build quality - well, for the price, functionality and weight difference it's a fair tradeoff IMO. Hinge issues - haven't heard of any. The lowest 'walk into a shop' price you can get a 4500U, 8Gb, 256Gb Y2P is $1200. Comparable rMBP is $300 more.
I mean, listen, the Yoga 2 Pro is still a fairly attractive piece of tech but there's obviously a big market of people who still want Macs either for OS X, the ecosystem, or because it's pretty.
It's just one of the possibilities - I don't think anyone's hung up on the Y2P specifically. It's not my main walking-around machine for example.
And that aside, I didn't dispute those Mac points in my original reply, and I don't think anyone with any sense can. The problem is that the Mac fans are starting with
the exact spec of the Apples as the only yardstick. You guys don't for example consider superior or different elements of the competing notebooks - features which don't have an exact analog on Apple hardware are ignored as irrelevant or inferior, or are subject to different yardsticks of comparison. e.g. Carbon+ Glass Fiber = inferior because it's not aluminium. A power plug on a slightly gimballed mount which
doesn't fall off every freakin' time you move the unit is inferior because it's not Magsafe. Touch doesn't matter, all the while fondling your iPads. Touch targets are too hard to hit in W8 Desktop so worthless, while ignoring the fact that there are just as harder-to-hit targets when turning the iPad to productivity use - which don't appear to give anyone any ragequit moments. If you set the features on the Apple thing as the immutable superior thing (like I said, Creationists), of course it's going to win every single time.
