So I opted for a HP instead, and am very happy that I did.

Common missperception. There are plenty of places you can buy upgrades from that meet apple standards for less money. Also a good way to save 500 or more is to buy a mac with 512 ram and upgrade using newegg to 4 gigs for only 190 or so.
I have a MacBook pro. Ran redhat,ubuntu,vista and XP and I will never use anything but mac again for a desktop or laptop.
FYI there is lots of free programs and you can run anything that is gpl for linux as most has ben ported for Mac.
