New MacBook Pros Launched

Art Vanderlay writes "Apple's new MacBook lineup has launched with a refresh to the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models. As expected, the MacBook and MacBook Air both feature Core 2 Duo processors, as does the 13. The 15 and 17 models come with a choice of i5 or i7. Memory is 4GB across the board, with an optional upgrade. Additionally, the new line may include three different types of screen options: Glossy, High Resolution Glossy, and High Resolution Glossy with Anti-Glare. A second person familiar with the matter adds that at least some models will support 512GB of Solid State Drive (Flash) storage."

OK Apple enthusiasts, explain this to me: for $850 I can purchase the Acer Aspire AS7740G-6364
It too has a 17" screen, albeit at lower res (1600x800), but a killer
offboard graphics card ATI 5650HD with 1GB of dedicated ram.
Sure the processor is only 2.26 Ghz but it also has 4GB of ram, and of course
the case is not aluminum.
But still, WHY would I pay $1,450 more for the MacBook Pro?
OS X is not worth $1,000!
