This is exactly right.
The new macbook pro 13" without the touch strip is already in apple stores.
I would suggest you supplement whatever you read about these macbooks with an actual visit to the apple store, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
The color definition on those new screens is INSANE, it's still far better built than any pc I've tried this year (and I tried zillions while considering one last pc before switching), and the keyboard is surprisingly good.
If you get one of these pc's, get ready for a mechanical touchpad that you WILL notice, a flattened aspect that ratio that is not ideal for document editing, and screen quality that just doesn't quite match up despite pixel counts.
Anyway, I've had a rough time switching from windows to mac this year, find it ironic that now everyone is talking about jumping ship the other way.

Edit: why exactly the downvotes?
