For $500 you can get them specs on a Window lappie. Must be OS-X is worth another $500?

It only comes with iLife not iWork or Finalcut Express.
Also, isn't not to dealing with M$ Windows worth $500?

Actually #3, controlling your own destiny is worth not dealing with the Nazi turds at Apple. Buy a PC or go Linux.

There is a little bit more to it than that.

For those who need a macbook with a firewire port, this is it. The aluminum macbooks don't have a firewire port, unless you go for the (starting at) $1999 macbook pro model.

If anyone cares to show me a similarly SIZED laptop (weight, dimensions, screen, etc) with comparable specs for $500, I'll be waiting.

#2, you will encounter a lot of difficulties installing OSX on a "regular Windows laptop" if that's what you were asking. Gizmodo or Engadget just posted a story on how this machine was benchmarked against the unibody Macbooks and was actually faster. That said, the build quality on these leaves much to be desired. I think Apple just recently owned up to the cracking in the case near the magnetic clasps in the front being a design flaw. Overall, I agree with #10. This thing comes loaded with all kinds of extra shit that will ratchet up the price of your average PC laptop. Also, Apple does a fantastic job of standing by their products. So long as you have Apple Care, you're pretty much set.

#12, the specs are "slightly" updated. 2.13Ghz instead of 2.0Ghz and 160GB instead of 120GB Hard Drive.
