I call bullshit on that one... Apple are using the exact same components as any other PC manufacturer out there. They're using Intel's processors, Samsung's or Crucial's RAM, ATi's or Nvidia's GFX cards and any of the major harddrive manufacturers harddrives.

MacBooks and iMacs have been PCs since they switched to the x86 architecture in 2005 (I'm using the PC acronym to refer to the x86 family of computers here which is kinda wrong, but at least it's better than using it as a synonym for Windows).

The only major difference between an Apple PC and a PC from another manufacturer with the same components (not that hard to find) is OSX, and if you're going to install Windows on it you remove the difference completely.

Complicating is the true path to simplicity.

As far as i got in figuring out macbooks and macbook pro, buy the macbook, upgrade your ram and you save yourself 100 euros.
Other specs are all the same... except for a card readers and firewire :P

Correct me if i'm wrong ofc.

And get the macbook pro if you want to rock aluminium instead of white plastic :P

This is true for the "cheap" MacBook pro. That is why I chose for the 13.3 inch MacBook. I also like the looks better ;)

macstore is slacking, one more week before delivery
