Engadget reviewed a laptop that is a clone of a Macbook today, its priced at $1047 if you include xp home.

The lenient writeup prompted me to do a breakdown of the incredible value inherent in the Macbook.
A few years ago you needed $2,000 to look at a mac, in fact you heard $4,000 as a starting price when you spoke to a mac sales person, for that high price you got features and build quality not seen in other computers.
As with all high priced items, copies and emulations were there for half the price to grab the buyer who just wanted the expensive look of the product and it seems that this DosPara laptop is aiming for these customers, the problem is that Apples computers are now extremely affordable. I’ll continue.

Nowadays, Apples prices are the lowest of ANY computer maker, feature for feature, lower than Dell, lower than Compaq and lower than DosPara (wtf!).
The first commenter on Engadget correctly pointed out the poorer firewire port on the Dospara copycat, lack of dvi out and the power hungry (but slower) amd chip.
But lets look at what else we get in our macbook:
Bluetooth
Wireless 802.11N !!!
Magsafe connector
Six Hour Battery Life
Stunning Screen (Everyone knows what Pc users feel when they see the bright screen of a mac)
Popular New keypad
Two Finger to scroll touchpad !!!
The Best Operating System in the World !!!
OPTICAL Audio In and Out !!!
Gigabit Ethernet !!!
Small Bezel
Allure
Attractiveness
Ability to run Windows & OSX !!!
Incredible power efficiency (17watts idle and 53watts at 100% on both cores with bluetooth and wireless-n blazing)

Give each of those a $50 value (which is a bargain for completely integrated optical audio, 802.11n, gigabit ethernet, core duo chip, etc) and its plain to see that any of the Macbooks is a far greater V.A.L.U.E. than this laptop, In fact I’m going out to stock up on Macbooks before they raise the prices!
Listen Up, this IS pretty far fetched, but not for the reason you stated, the 80gb ipods just launched are nothing new, physically the same, brightness control added (which has been in the hardware for OVER six months).
The shuffle and the nano are SWEET and certainly around to stay for six months to a year, but the big boi iPods? They're definately at their peak (read retirement age), so bring on these beauties for crimbo and let them coexist (maybe $449) with our 5.5g's for a while.

Let me hear a hell yeah!
this "Consumer" may indeed have bought a jacket two weeks before the event, the jacket in question is jacket no.2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8. I buy a ps2 one week, from then on I can steal them because I have a recept for two weeks prior? Faulty justice, only real proof i the video tape!
PS. Jack, get real, walmart is a good store, kepp your tree hugging comments to yourself.

You may have noticed, Hafnium, Microsoft took Market Share from Sony by undercutting.
Microsoft is Pricing its 30gb at the price of the 60gb (which by november will be 100gb).

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a 12- or 13-inch ultraportable that can also play modern games at a reasonable level, for less than $1,000. I know the brainiacs out there can help me out. Love the site, thanks!"
