You can tell Windows laptops are general computers, the hardware fires off the gesture recognition and gives the command to the OS, so you swipe, it's recognized, then you get the action.

On Mac, the gesture is registered as it's happening, you can pull the screen, cancel, flick it, etc.

Not to mention the convenience of taking it to any Apple store and the battery life.

I game on Windows, host on Linux, and travel with Apple.
