You get what you pay for. If you want that $399.99 Dell that comes with a "free DVD burner upgrade" then be my guest. You would be hard-pressed to find a "PC" laptop that has the same specs as a Macbook Pro, for a lesser price. The IBM Thinkpads come close on specs, and are about a grand more in cost.
As for upgradability. Pull out harddrive, put new in. Pretty simple. The only one that you can't open with a screw drive is the Mac Mini (and maybe the Macbook white/black). All others, Open with a screw driver. Add more ram. It's pretty freaking simple.
And if you want to talk about "pretty" cases, maybe you should have a look at the "PC" case selection on www.newegg.com
They all look like voltron, and they all have stupid flashy glowing lights. Sound pretty "pretty" to me.
