1. The Latitude has a DVD player/writer, but the Mac has a SuperDrive. A SuperDrive! A SuperDrive is worth way more than a plain old DVD player/writer — it’s Super.

2. Also, the display on the Mac is “Glossy.” Things that are glossy are better, by implicit definition. And things that are better cost more.

3. Your table lacks a “Prettiness” row.

4. It’s easier for people to remember that they have a MacBook Pro than a Latitude E5500. That’s worth a lot.

5. Snow leopards are endangered. Obviously that will cost more.

I think I’ve made myself clear.

(as a side note: I wish they’d offer Macs without the glossy screen. They’re beautiful, but you can’t have a window at your back.)
