and it's responses like this that give Mac owners a bad name and a poor reputation.
That's wonderful that your macbook has the same resolution...it doesn't have the same internal specs though, and it is meant for mainstream usage. This is a 17" notebook that is typically targeted as more of a desktop replacement, or for gaming.
With regard to the touchpad being centered, if you'd pay a little bit of attention you'd notice that with the 17" screen there is also a full numeric keypad to the right. If the trackpad were centered to the full laptop it would not be in a convenient place while you're doing 98% of your typing.
Try pretending for a second that just because someone doesn't do design work at Apple, that doesn't mean their ideas are wrong.
Apparently, some Mac fanboy's can't read. 1440x900 is the low end resolution it supports for those budget minded people. Since people who buy Macs are used to spending twice as much for a computer as they should, they would likely go for the 1920x1200 resolution monitor that is available for this. And even though it may not be as "pretty" as a Macbook it will have way, way more under the hood, and it'll probably still cost less. Someone already beat me to the laughable comment of the touch pad not being centered so I'll leave it at that.

Wow, 1440x900? My 15" Macbook Pro has the same resolution, and is much better looking. Not to mention the fact that the track pad is centered.

I think I like the track pad centered with the space bar.
