If he'd compared low end macbook to low end HP, the HP would have won out by about 200 bux. I can drive down to Fry's right now and get a HP configured with twice the memory, 2 inches larger screen, larger HD all for about 200 less then if I buy the macbook they sell next to it. As is said, lies, damn lies and statistics. I don't doubt anything read in the article, but it's still not wholey accurate. I'll never understand the mac zealots desire to prove beyond any doubt that macs don't cost more. I bought an ipod and it was more expensive then a lot of other mp3 players, but I wanted the polish..the fit and finish of the product. That's why people buy macs, not cause they are a bargin, but because of the bright and shiny finish of the hardware and OS. And I don't put down that value at all, it's just not for everyone.
