Why buy?
You can buy a apple macbook pro for £899 which will be made better, and is faster. the macbook battery lasts 7 hours any way. £1500 is a lot for a copy.

Yeah, but with the macbook you'd have the stigma of being an apple attention whore.
Also what's with running crysis on underpowered garphic chips, what's the point, it's hardly a real world test is it. No one is going to do that, use a photoshop test or something useful and meaningful.

Touchpad
Why are other companies trying to copy Apple's buttonless touchpad (e.g. HP, Dell). Even using OS X is is an acquired taste, and it's less well suited to Windows - particularly when it's badly implemented.
