I wouldn't guess that apple is in any real danger, they never did sell on quality or ideas or anything like that. They sell trendy bullshit to middle class white people, so they really couldn't be threatened by a superior product. Hell they've already created the worlds least cost effective laptop and managed to sell loads of them. I disagree that apple has peaked.
MBP's are amazing, this is coming from someone who's owned over 10 laptops from all sorts of manufactures and at all price points up to 3k and I ahve not found a single better laptop from a purly form factor perspective (not just pretty but solid, light, great battery life, and nicer keyboard then most(although the lack of home and end key along with the function keys not being normal is a tough swtich)).
Yes they do cost a lot more but I think it's justified. OS x and iOS on the other hand.... still kinda hate them although I'm giving it a chance with the most recent release of lion.
This isn't some sheeple response or me being tricked, I've built computers, programmed, gamed, sys admin, all of it and the MBP is the best laptop I've ever had. Feel free to disagree but I think many would argue for their MBP's worth. iMacs and low end pro desktops on the other hand are a waste of money. The high end pro's just get to the point where they can't have any markup to be competitive so you can get some good consumer server stuff at a good price.
