<p>Almost exactly the same specs as the MBPs but with longer battery life and without OS X. In case anyone is interested.</p>
<p>Prices have been posted, $899 for the U35JC (13.3") and $999 for the U45JC (14.1") laptops.</p>
<p>Extremely excellent prices for the performance/mobility. Definitely a laptop that you should consider if you want MacBook performance for much cheaper and don’t mind using Windows 7 over Mac OS X.</p>
