If I'd want to buy a laptop, I'd want nothing else than the recent MacBook or MacBook Pro, provided it runs everything I'd want it to run... How much is the replacement wireless? Around $30? The power adapter connector on the MacBook alone makes it better than anything out there, not to mention all the other innovation and design. Do you have people and/or animals running around, stumbling on the power cord? This might seem like the most irrelevant thing to worry about in a laptop, but to me it's quite important. Yes, I do know that Steve Jobs has a tyrannical streak - I am sure there are proprietary hardware issues - nVidia, etc.
