It was one of those Wall St Journal lifestyle articles. Mentioned favorite laptop brands. The mac books got top rating at $2000 or so. After nattering on for half a page, the closing advice was to pay at least $600 for a laptop to avoid unspecified problems. I chuckled to myself. I got my HP Pavilion for $300 down at Staples 6 months ago. Works fine, keyboard has decent touch and feel. Bags of room on hard drive, runs Firefox, Office, Picassa, Orcad, C++ compiler, and other stuff just fine. I'm not a gamer so I don't stress the processor much.
Anyhow, I'm thinking that particular WSJ column was more sales pitch for pricey laptops than real practical advice
