    Is there any cheap or good windows 7 laptops with the same style shell as the macbook pro? I mean a laptop with the uni-body aluminum shell. I really like that design but cant afford a macbook pro. If possible could you like me to a few models of them that do have that design, im looking for a not too expensive one and would like it to have decent specs, but doesn't have to have the top of the range specs.

    Have a look at the HP Pavilion, they are probably the closest looking to a Mac as it has the raised and back lit keyboard, and is a brushed aluminum laptop. There also quite good spec aswell, with Triple and Quad Core Processors, 4gb/6gb Ram , 500gb hard drive, hdmi output and dedicated graphics

    The triple core with 4gb Ram comes in just over €500 , thats including delivery and card fees:

    While the Quad Core version with 6gb comes in just over €600 including the delivery and credit card fees:

    Lenovo Ideapad series. I've got U350, cheap and stylish, very thin and light, with textured metal cover and keyboard surroundings. I really loved it until I stepped on it few months ago and screen went :( Still can't make myself to fork out half of the price of the laptop for the screen repair but I'm longing for it.
