Apple's, but making more like a Shuttle PC in the way of expanding. Yes, other companies put out monitors, but do any in a cheaper price-range have the Apple name or aesthetically pleasing looks?

24" of Apple love is about to replace everything I own that is visually appealing.

It seems to me that people just want a MBP for the price of a MB
No not looking for a Mac Book Pro at a Mac Book price, I own a MBP. I saying for the price point of MB it should have video card. But for 1200 buck you can get win lap top with 100gb hd 128 ati 1600 video card which is the same card the MBP uses and a 15.4 inch wide screen. When I am working in photo shop with a few other apps open do not want my ram being used to do my video work but that is just me. also before you say it can't a dual core machine it has the same 1.83 ghz dual core my MBP has. So it shows Mac is really making a really good profit on the MB.

What would be the point of the Macbook Pro then? It's larger, costs more, and performs the same as the Macbook.
The point being leave the MB using dual core 32bit chips and the MBP upgrade to the 64bit chips and leave the price point alone and make the 256mb card standard on the MBP and only put a 64 bit card in the MB.
