Waking from sleep is the main one, it has just never, ever worked properly. I've done clean installs, multiple calls to Apple and it's never been fixed and drives me potty. Sometimes BT doesn't turn on when I turn the Mac on, happens more often than not, recently Lightroom performance has been plain awful, Chrome crashing/freezing, issues with TM not seeing the QNAP even though everything else on the network can, just off the top of my head.

I'd be surprised if there isn't any new ones by October. My brother has been waiting to replace his one for a while now due to the drive slowing down and overheating.
Windows 8 onwards has Fast Startup hence the cold boot times coming down especially with an SSD. It's a cheat basically - it restores a hibernation file of the OS state from last time it successfully booted and was ready for a user login. Hold down left-shift and pick Shut Down or Restart and it will do the full process which takes considerably longer.
That said with modern machines and SSDs doesn't everyone just shut the lid and let it sleep/hibnernate? My Mac only gets rebooted usually when there's a OS X point update.

And there in lies the problem, PEBCAK. More windows users seem to install so much random tat they shouldn't. Not sure if its because there is more available or because most aren't as computer literate/older.
Pretty much the same here. No need to shut stuff down.

More rope to hang yourself on. Its not really something MSFT can fix, its easy to make crapware for windows, at the same time you can find a app to do just about anything.

Problem is the hardware is much cheaper but Apple won't change their price. Why buy 2-3 year old hardware for todays prices. If your getting a laptop I would not buy it brand new.
