That is a nice laptop. It kind of makes you wonder how long it will take for Apple to put C2Ds (just a matter of time) and real graphics chips (might never happen) into MBs.

No its GBP - pounds.
Sure, it looks quite swanky, and has a GFX card and C2D, but if you are trying to compare this to a MacBook, then thats absurd, because a MacBook base model is �750, this is �350 more, about 40% more expensive than a MB.
Even if I configure the MacBook base model to come with 1GB RAM and a 120 GB HD, it is still only �999, �100 less than the Sony.
Sure, the Sony has a GFX card and a better CPU, but the CPU used is the version with just 2MB Cache, and without VT technology, so its the budget end of the C2D line. Also, I value the ability to use OS X much higher than �100
Edit: GRRRR! why don't pound symbols work?!

Ahh, you know your right. I didn't check the link. That thing costs about $1800. Screw that. For non-gamers, the MB (BTO) is a better value. For gamers, 13" is a small screen.
£ doesn't seem to work either, but then, that is HTML.

Gotta love the OS X trump card. It immediately negates any PC to Mac comparison.
