Well, I'm not sure why you would compare a PC and a lap top. One issue about laptops is weight/size. Getting power into a small space costs more. But, yes, you can get "comparable" Windows-based laptops for a fair amount cheaper. They'll be lacking in some ways, but they're comparable still. I've said before that MBPs really aren't worth what you pay for them (for most people). But they sure as hell are nice. And to me, the retina display is what convinced me to shell out the extra money.
