What I really want to do is buy one of these at about a 30% discount, sans MacOS, and run Kubuntu on it.

  but but but... OS X is really great! I like the *buntus, but I think that OS X is a little more polished and solid.

    Yeah. You don't get a Macbook just for the aesthetic - though the aesthetic is tremendous. You get it for the operating system.

      well, it's a sexy machine to run linux on too, when you are too frustrated with manually compiling tarballs or fighting with the ports system.

        Still using desktop software eh? ;)

        True. And I'd imagine that the drivers for Mac computers are all completely covered in Linux, considering there's not, ahem, too much variety to pick from. So that's an advantage.

    It has no APT (well... it has but it's kind of a bolt-on solution). And no, ports is not an adequate substitute. No APT is a deal-breaker for me. At least as my main work computer. But looks insanely great.
