I wish they weren't so damn expensive. Notice how the 1.6 is about 1800 bucks and the 1.8 is over 3000? It's got a fancy-schmancy SOLID STATE hard drive (but only 64GB).

This product is obviously not for a power user. It looks like a nice laptop for personal use tough. I'm not a mac fan. 64gb hd!? OSx must not use that much. It probably has eSATA it would have to. |

Go and price out say a Dell, make sure it has everything a Mac has spec wise and you will find out that Macs are equally priced and sometimes a lot less expensive. The reason why Macs seems to be so "expensive" is because they use top of the line hardware and are way more inovative than the crap other manufacturers put out.

-iPod revolutionized the world of portable music many people have called the iPod a now universal name much like the Walkman was or Kleenez is to Facial Tissue, hows that "Zune" thing selling? -Apples used the first GUI based system wide spread -Apple was the original "mouse" contemporary -Apple and OSx has always had low virus/security issues -Apple charges $99 for an OS, while Microsoft charges $200+ -Macs have included USB2.0 before PC's, Firewire is on all Macs while most PCs offer it as an option, Wireless was on desktop and laptop machines earlier for Macs, Bluetooth was used in a Mac long before a PC.

The notebook is strictly gearing toward the people on the go......Less packing size and weight. I been thinking out a Mac here recently and I think that this may pushed me over the top. About tired of Microsoft.
