The soap surrounding PsyStar, the company that offers a Mac clone for sale, just keeps on running. After the initial launch, the company was plagued by doubt and mystery surrounding its actual existence, but soon after videos started popping up of the OpenComputer out in the wild, beyond the company itself. Thanks to CNet, the company may now have fully redeemed itself.

Maybe prices are different in your country but the MacBookPro's are incredibly overpriced in the US.
I priced out a normal MacBook and it was okay compared to what I could get from Dell, just a little over-priced (could get an XPS m1330 for the same price with nvidia graphics, bigger HDD etc), but the MacBookPro is WAY over priced.
I just ordered a Dell XPS m1530 for $1,500.
It has a Penryn 9300 2.5GHz w/ 6Mb Cache.
320Gb HDD
Nvidia 8600 GT Graphics
4GB RAM
1920x1200 resolution on a 15.4!!! MBP only has 1440x900 I would have been happy with 1680x1050 on a 15.4 but what the hell...why not go all out.
2MP Camera
Intel Wireless N
9 Cell Battery
Bluetooth mouse
Remote control
Basically better than the MacBookPro in every way including price. It was actually about $2,000 after a $599 discount, but anyone could get that discount if you start with the "best" configuration. Then through my employer I got a 12% and then a 10% discount that brought it down to about $1500
Oh yeah...I intend to run Gentoo, OSX, and Vista on it.
