Did you not prove the parent comment's point? You were mostly concerned with aesthetics, the case material, keyboard layout, and stickers.

I'm personally not a fan of the vendor lock in with Apple. You can spend similar money and get something that isn't difficult to replace the ram on, with slightly better specs, more disk space, etc. As long as you're cool with a plastic case ;)

The keyboard and trackpad are not aesthetics!

IMHO, Apple's "magic" trackpads are still best in class.

Most modern laptops are completely comparable in terms of hardware and software capabilities, so long as you aren't trying to do top-end gaming and super-computing. Administration is not significantly less painful on any one of them.

This machine feels pleasant to use. It doesn't frustrate me or get in my way. (Unless I'm using finder or other awful OS X programs, but I'm not afraid of the terminal, so I just don't use those.)
