No offense was meant and I really don't understand why you would be offended. I only know what you stated in your posts. Based on the information you provided it's apparent Fuji didn't agree with you any more than I do about your laptop being a 'hard drive' killer. You're the one who brought up being an engineer as a way to support your statement, like I was supposed to believe you based not on the information you provided.. but because you told me you're an engineer. The logic of this is as flawed as your generalizations.
The Mac vs. Pc debate can only be good natured and fun.. it's obvious to anyone familiar with both products, that on the component level they couldn't be any more the same. And even at different levels of power/capability reliable function is the same. A $600 laptop tends to be every bit as reliable (electronically) as a $3000 laptop. Modern electronics are great, and a manufacturer can't afford to put out poor products on any level. Sure, there are bad runs (hard drives especially because they have mechanical components), but bad runs happen at all price points.
So please don't be offended. After all, it's not like I told you your entire post was 'COMPLETE BS., CRAP, and B.S. Period', that would be just plain rude, crass, and uncalled for in a civil discussion. The only thing more rude than that, would be the same person turning around and then claiming they were the offended party.. 
You just won the internet.
One can win by twisting words, away from truths???
Seems in above a person was questioning after questioning, giving false accusations to what I have stated as my experience, including as to question my competence and experience to point of drag me in, to dig deeper and deeper... and twisting words and even truths of what he does not know and to what they are not. My personal opinion of that action (no offense meant) frank is what I stated in bold in above. That applies also to last post
. And no, in my opinion Mac vs PC debate is not fun, and certainly not a point I meant to make.
What I already indicated of that problem PC notebook was that it was heat which was the likely and indeed concluded problem issue, thus seems improper design and/or choice of components (quality issue). I also stated that my experience in regards to the alleged "bricks" called Mac (termed so by a certain poster) is complete different and opposite to with PC, hence well implemented and they not only work but do so by a very large factor of far more problem free. Thus seems that components are for these "bricks" well paired and of good quality, and in my experience and opinion also the OS is far superior. On that subject...
... since it is Mac I would expect Thunderbolt to have been proper implemented (with appropriate components and design to support it)... In my opinion Thunderbolt seem incredibly interesting:
