You could view the MacBook Pro in about the same way - it is competition to notebooks in every way except for price. They cost twice as much as non-Apple notebooks with comparable specs.

I think the second part of your comment would apply to netbooks, too. It's just that nobody takes note of them in the same way because they don't seem as novel as iPads.

There's another thread on here comparing the MBP to the HP Envy and I make the argument that you can't factor out the intangibles when comparing specs between MBPs and PC laptop - OS is highly personal, design/status symbol is of value.
