"the apple one has an led backlight and a 512MB 8600m gt" $1500 for led backlight and slightly better graphics card... WOWWW
As for the weight... when going for a 17" notebook i dont look for something to carry around with me so weight is not an issue..... and also just for your information the apple weights 3.08 kg and the vostro 3.49 kg....WOWWWW thats a significant difference.
As for the car comparison... if they had the same engine, interior etc.... then i would go for the lada every single time. But that would mean that i would go around showing off my lada as you obviously like to do.
It is clear from your comments that the only use you have from your computers is for showing off. Thats fine everyone has different needs, I like to get as much performance out off my systems as i can and use them to make money.
P.S I do own an iMac because it matched the furniture in my bedroom, and i can tell you that the built quality doesnt even come close to my logitech stuff or my to that of my thinkpad.
Now i think of it the thinkpad is a bit ugly i wont be able to show that off either. Maybe i should get more iMacs.
Considering you can get the Lenovo v200 at that price tag, this article is a joke.
The MSI wind looks promising for 300 EUR but until the release we just don't know what 300 EUR will get you.
Where does the Vostro fit in ???

As you can see the apple is cheaper for the same specs.
Oh and for those of you planning to keep the Mac for a decade
I would suggest either a Rodweiler or a Doberman.
