Furthermore, why is it that until recently you could not get a non-apple laptop that looked like they actually tried to design the case to be even remotely aesthetically pleasing. The smooth contours of my macbook pro totally outclass winbooks in this aspect. The Dell Adamo series is really the first non apple product Ive seen that comes close, but its still not there.
Agreed, virtually all modern notebooks are nasty and blingy, not to mention coated in gloss that seems custom-formulated to maximize fingerprint appearance.
The best looking winbook I've seen in a while was a deliberate MacBook Air clone by MSI. It was so well done as to be indistinguishable from the real thing at a distance of five meters or more.
