Re: Selective deafness
Show me where you can get the same spec & quality for substantially less. And no cheating by claiming that your plastic PoS is the 'same' because it happens to have the same processor.
Erm take a look at PC Specialist. Some of the Clevo and Tong Fang based chassis are aluminium. I would concede they don't look as attractive as a MBP but they match your spec, price and quality argument.
