Depending on how you look at it, Apple is not "way behind" in laptops.

Give me a direct competitor to the Air series. It 'aint the Sony Vaio Z's (too thick). A direct competitor doesn't exist.

You mentioned the unibodies yourself. There are other components that are 'top shelf' in the MBP's as well. That can taken into account when pricing competing laptops... or you can buy the consumer-grade 'equivalent' Dell that has the build quality of wet cardboard.

None of that has taken me to the dark side myself. I own three laptops (personal netbook, personal full-size, and a business workstation laptop) and none of them are Apples. But I'd like to replace the netbook with an Air some day...
