well "giant" wasn't specified, but most new laptops have multi touch now. The difference is newer laptops by different vendors usually get heavily discounted or goes on sale much faster than mbp's. Just watch any deals site and you'll see. A nicely configured mbp will go for around 2k, you can easily get the same configuration for 1k, possibly much less with deals, coupons and discounts.
