Well over the mac price point. Nice machines, but not as well built as they used to be.

Well over the macbook (not mbpro) price point - and for a reason.

I don't think Macbook could ever compare to Thinkpad T61/T500 for some serious development. Ever.

Macbook Pro is another story, with another price tag too :)

FBSD compatibility is a plus and a half.
