But Macs are overpriced!!!

Really?
Enter the Dell Adamo!
More expensive, less powerful, uglier (subjective) and only slightly thinner.

The base price for the most basic Dell Adamo with 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB 800MHz DDR3 RAM, Intel GMA integrated graphics and 128GB SSD is $1999.
It gets worse, no matter how much $$$ you shill, you wont be getting more than 1.4GHz, no faster than 800MHz DDR3 RAM and the still crappy Intel GMA.
Did I mention that it is a full pound heavier than the MacBook Air?

For $200 less (that is $1799) you can get a MacBook Air that features 1.86GHz C2D (with 6MB L2 cache), nVidia GeForce 9400M, 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and 120GB HDD.

So here is a challenge, I want a laptop significantly thinner than 0.8", with at least 13" screen, excellent mobile graphics, no heavier than 3 pounds and under $1899.

Congratualations it is a Mac.
