Best PC Notebooks vs. Apple MacBook comparisons

The August 2008 edition of the MaximumPC magazine did a nice comparison between the best PC notebooks in each of the Apple MacBook categories: MacBook Air in the ultraportable max. 2 kg, MacBook in the mainstream max 3.5 kg and MacBook Pro in the professional max 4 kg category.

Only the MacBook Pro landed a victory although it was 500 USD more expensive and had a less exciting screen compared with its contender the Dell XPS M1530 notebook.
The winners in the two other categories were Lenovo X300 (see also CNet review) as best ultraportable and the AcerTravelMate 5720 as the best mainstream notebook PC for just $1050. It seems the right time also to buy as pricing for the Lenovo notebooks dropped now in the US e.g. from 3200 to 2500 USD for the X300 model. I assume newer models (probably with a HDD instead of flash) are on the horizon. Latest comment: yes there is. Lenovo announced the X200 model and is very low priced started at 1200 USD. It is available in August.
