That's not entirely true. I recently bought a 17" Macbook Pro because it was the best laptop I could find for my purposes in the $3000+ range. HP, Dell, Lenovo, Alienware, Gateway & Falcon Northwest 17" models spec'd out to the same or similar to a 17" Macbook Pro all came out more expensive, heavier, way less battery life and thicker than a 17" Macbook Pro. So, for me the power and portability combo of the Mac was the way to go. YMMV, of course, as everyone's needs are different. I agree though, that in the lower end of the laptop market, the Macs are not the most cost effective way to go
