I did as well, but I wouldn't say the FX1 blows mine away. Mine's equipped with Core 2 Duo T7200, 2GBRAM, 1920x1200 res monitor, GeForce 7900, 100GB 7200RPM HDD (replaced with 200GB 7200RPM HDD), integrated Wireless-N, all for around the $1600 range. Even today, those specs at that price are a steal so don't shed too many tears. We don't even know when these new laptops are coming out.
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.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
