I like the efficiency in your ideas, although editing and linking all the links required in the laptop compatibility page would take volunteers and editorial oversight to get to the fix. For example some threads take 40 posts of spitballin before fruition. Some don't.
One of core teams' best moves was conceiving and using the SOLVED tag right out the Flarum forum launch....thus indexable, traceable when it comes to solutions.
To take your idea one step further...One can search with the solved tag, which is nice. But not with the SOLVED tag + +search term, or +another tag. Make that happen and this site becomes uber-indexable and they can skip the dedicated mac thing you wanted and the linked compatibility page. Although I think the second one more valuable than the first, even for an os that stresses a desktop experience. Disclosure: I don't have a laptop
