Making arguments based on price are premature at best. The new Apple notebooks make use of a very new CPU, so until other vendors start offering notebooks with similar specs there really isn't a good way of knowing what the price difference is.
Of course you always have the option of purchasing a much cheaper, less capable notebook. But that would be more like comparing a Corvette to an Aveo :-)

I absolutely agree, and actually made the same point to someone in RL. In absolute terms though, it's still way more than I'd want to pay. But it's definitely drool-worthy.

Whoa, it seems that Corvette doesn't have cup-holders (reference to Bad Boys). No internal modem in the new MacBook Pro!
