I've been shopping for these things a lot and I found that unless you're looking at a no-name laptop the prices of the Macs weren't all that out of line. Here's what I saw: http://www.buy.com/prod/Sony_Vaio_100GB_1GB_13_3_DVD_R_RW_Windows_XP_Professional/q/loc/101/202242878.html and http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?family=MacBookPro The Sony's got more ram (I think a gig stick costs about $150 these days) and the Apple's got a faster processor but "twice" as expensive? I found similar prices with most of the major brands like Toshiba, Lenovo(IBM) and Dell. I did decide to go with a Toshiba myself but only because I've already got machines that run all the Mac apps I have and the added cost of XP did make the Macbook more expensive for a reason I could't justify.
