I've never owned a MacBook and I think they're way overpriced for the performance, but I think one advantage they have in this situation is longevity - from what I've seen the average PC will stay current for 2-3 years, while MacBooks seem to have a 4-5 year ownership period and they command a decent chunk of change down the line. My Ideapad with dual core processor and 750GB drive was $450 new this summer - that wouldn't get me a 15" MacBook Pro made in the last 3 years.
