If you can find any 12" PC at less then $1600, I'm impressed. Most of them cost over $2000.

Here's a link to a now dead (but commonly occuring sale) from Dell for a 14.4
Widescreen notebook with some similar specs to the 12" iBook. Specs might not be 100% comparable but it does let you know the price of admission on the respective platforms. Not sure how you interpret "highly portable" but this is 1.1" thick.

$549 including shipping. Looks pretty good IMHO for that price.
Macs are down right sexy, I give you that, but this is a pretty good example of how Macs are premium priced over Windows machines.
