apple is way too overpriced, for the money you payfor basioc apple you can get top of the line dell inpiroon fps notebook with of stuff in it. i have both dells and apples at work and even tech support at apple suck!!!!! i rewally have to beg for new parts! plus x86 based dell has many more killer apps. i think the choise is obvious. i dont think you shouyld pay so much $ for the sleek design. i have a budget dell notebook for 800$ and i'm happy, its more then enuff for GPS in the car and downloading pix from my digital camera when i'm on the road
