I sort of agree with this, except ... there is something magical about unibody metal construction. By anyone.

I don't understand why nobody else can make this leap ... it's a tremendous step forward in look, feel and function.

I don't have any particular affinity for apple, but there is no way I am ever buying a plastic computer again.

For those saying it's not unique to Mac. The Unibody pricing is one key factor that makes a portable device that doesn't fall apart at the seams and internal connections.
