You're comparing a bulky plastic laptop with a MacBook Pro?
And an 11" laptop with a 17" one?

It's an interesting perspective, I'll give you that.

You specifically stated, in response to my post:

A few folk say this, but never come up with any examples.

Strange, that.

I have provided you with 2 examples of apple overcharging on spec - I never stated that the laptops would be identical.

That said however:

Macbook pro 13" is 2.41cm high, 22.7cm deep, 32.5cm wide 2.06kg
Alienware 13" is 2.79cm high, 23.5cm deep, 32.8cm wide 2.058kg

So how is the Alienware "bulky" when it's virtually identical in size and weight (again with superior spec for same price).

If you want to match build:

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series in forged aluminium (same as mac book pro)
£749
spec as above
2.5cm high, 37.94cm wide, 25.48cm deep
2.6kg weight

15" macbook pro
£1599
i7 2.2ghz (slower than the 3.1 dell)
16gb ram (same)
Intel Iris Pro Graphics (worse)
1.8 cm high, 35.89 cm wide, 24.71 cm deep
2.02 kg weight

I could go on but it would be embarassing

I wouldn't worry about that. It couldn't possibly be any more embarrassing than post number 30 was :rotfl:
