Half the price one can purchase various other brands, including larger screens or for 3/4 the price, a faster system with a 17in. screens. So when it craps in a few years, get another and your still the same amount as the Mac.

What am I missing here. Longevity ?

Larger screens just mean more weight, glass as we all know is heavy. MANY of my users who ordered big screens are kicking themselves now because they have to lug the thing to and from work every day. Better to get a small screen and plug it into an external monitor when at home or work.
