Also, Apple offers the SSD option at ~30% less ($999 versus $1300 on NewEgg, and the $1300 drive is physically more than twice the size).


Newegg must be a ripoff or have old expensive stock. Go to Dell and configure yourself and XPS M1330. I started with the expensive $1499 model. The SSD drive is a $750 upgrade over a 160Gig 7200RPM drive. So the Apple upgrade is actually expensive
