well, yeah, you priced out an expensive HP notebook
thing is, you can get that notebook with less expensive versions of windows, a smaller HD, without the fancy bluetooth network card, without the complete WORKs SW.... and you are looking at a laptop more like $600
those of us who have owned PCs for the last 20 years dont need to buy
everything with each new computer (esp SW) - and when you step away from Apple you have that option.
When you load up any laptop with all the bells and whistles you drive the cost way up - the manufacturer makes a huge profit from all that extra stuff - just like you can buy a baseline Saturn Ion for $12,000 or you can buy it fully loaded for $25,000 - but under all the gagets its still the same car.
