There is no Apple premium; that is a tired myth.
You simply get a lot more, and you do pay for it.
The MagSafe connector alone will save your laptop... and you don't need to hack it yourself with a Dremel and epoxy. Battery design and power management, unibody strength, big touchpad, beautiful sound system, Thunderbolt, resale value, hand-me-down value... when you factor everything in, MBP is a no brainer and it's the ThinkPad owners who end up overpaying.

Owning a non-Apple computer, on the other hand, has other costs... https://bug1134506.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8566794 https://bug1134506.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=85...
