True that, you pays your money you makes your choice. Thins is, at a few hundred pounds the iPod and iPad are almost disposable, but at a few thousand an MBP is not. I actually was considering buying one of the "lower end" MBP, but because of this it is a deal breaker. (ps. I don't own an iPad because the memory is not upgradeable or an iPhone because I cannot carry around a spare battery - I travel around a fair bit so these are important factors to me)
