I guess it varies by when and what you compare. e.g.
http://www.macworld.com/article/49403/2006/02/pricecompariso...
has the macbook pro doing well.
or this
http://kb.wisc.edu/showroom/page.php?id=3045
has 150 more for macbook (not pro). they seem to have firewire and isight missing on the pc, and a modem missing on the mac.
-------
i just did a comparison of imac vs dell all-in-one.
imac = 1300 (add 1gig of ram)
the dell is 1300, but i need to change stuff like including a video card, which it doesn't look like i can do (dell's customization page sucks). anyway, apple seems to win.
the macbook pro isn't really for price-sensitive people, anyway. it's the imac, macbook, or maybe mini that i'd expect to price compare OK or well.
