    Been watching Steve Jobs keynote at MacWorld, and it's amazing how the new MacBook Pro's are SO similar to the Aspire 5672WLMi. Right down to the built-in cameras, silver cases, ATI video card, DVI video out, Bluetooth, Core Duo Processors...heck even the background wallpaper on the new MacBook Pro looks like the Aspire default wallpaper (blue wispy type).

    Seriously, go watch the last 1/2 hour of his keynote at www.apple.com and tell me if you agree. The dang things look almost identical! Seriously.

    Of course these are running OS X, and get this, only 512 megs of memory, and 80 gig hard drives. Oh yea, and $2000. Let's see, I paid $1250, got 120 gig hard drive, and 2 gigs of memory...

    I'll stick with my Acer! :D

    JD :cool:
