822053 2009-10-19 23:49:00 I think this is a common misconception. I remember reading a comparison between Dell and Apple and they were quite similar.


MacBook Pro 13" 2.26GHz/2GB/160GB $2,100.00 ($2,362.50 incl.GST)
MacBook Pro 13" 2.53GHz/4GB/250GB $2,625.00 ($2,953.13 incl.GST)
MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz/4GB/250GB $3,060.00 ($3,442.50 incl.GST)
MacBook Pro 15" 2.66GHz/4GB/320GB $3,500.00 ($3,937.50 incl.GST)
MacBook Pro 15" 2.80GHz/4GB/500GB $4,100.00 ($4,612.50 incl.GST)
MacBook Pro 17" 2.80GHz/4GB/500GB $4,380.00 ($4,927.50 incl.GST)

Looks pretty expensive to me.

Comparing specs between Windows and Macs is not very useful or relevant, different systems and big difference between how they work.

$1,333.13 inc GST - $666.87 less that the apple. I've sold quite a few of those HPs too and they are a very nice notebook.
