Maybe just maybe you're biased against Macs?
The difference between the 2.66 GHz dual core and and the 2.33GHz
quad core in benchmarks is small but the price difference is big, plus
that Windows uses more cores than one badly compared to UNIX
systems like OSX. Mac OS X is a LOT faster these days on the same
hardware.

You also forgot to mention the better graphicscard in the Mac.
Intel GMA? It's a piece of crap (well, almost at least).

You also get faster RAM with the Mac along with more storage
capacity.

And finally, what the competition might do in the future is
unknown and irrelevant, a red herring if you like.

Is blogging all about opinions these days?
