I dunno, I had the macbook pro that was similar to my current HP HDX18, and running the two side by side, my gaming was better on my HP, HD video was handled about the same on both...yet my HP cost several thousand dollars less.
My HP and the apple are both running indentical processors from Intel, and graphics cards from Nvidia - so hardware quality? I dunno...maybe the motherboard and ram are cheaper? I dunno but at the end of the day - my HP does the same for cheaper. Thats the end all be all argument for me.
also as a sidenote, I spilled a HUGE cup of coffee (milk + sugar) right on my HP...there was coffee coming out of the USB ports, the blu-ray drive...the whole shabang. I turned it off right away, booted it back up a few hours later - and still runs like a charm several months later :D I love HP! hehe
