Apple has released the long-awaited and seriously overdue replacement for its iBook consumer laptop product line. Dubbed the MacBook, it comes with an Intel Core Duo processor (1.83 or 2.0Ghz), 13.3" widescreen display, 512MB RAM, and an Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics card. It comes in white and black. In the US, you'll pay $1099 for the cheapest model, in the UK GBP 749, and on Europe's mainland EUR 1079 (mainland price taken from Apple Germany, may differ per country). Update: Between all the MacBook talk, Apple also upgraded its MacBook Pro product line. Besides a minor speed bump, Apple added, as a free option, the glossy screen stuff.

Oh.. and which is that magic laptop then?
Tell me.. I'd love to have a pc laptop with similar properties, but with 10 times better hardware configuration for same price. Oh.. and i run linux anyways.
So, that would be a laptop for approximately 733 us dollar (you said that Apple hardware is 50% more expensive than "PC" (whatever you mean with "PC"))
My requirements? 12"-13", Intel Core Duo, 1280x800 resolution or higher, not too heavy, at least 60giga harddisk, decent battery life. I think that's the most important.
But well, you say you could find 10 times better hardware than the MacBook for only 733 dollar... I'm curious what you're gonna come up with.
