The Carpal Tunnel Tax
The next time some PC apologist claims that there's an "Apple Tax", you can point out that purchasing a Mac means you don't have outrageous surgery bills resulting from the design of your laptop. Case in point: take a look at my MacBook Pro's wrist rest:
... and that of a Sony Vaio.
The only way this could have been made less inviting and more annoying is if the entire case were covered with quills.

My Sony VAIO laptop's wrist rest, though, looks like your MacBook's, completely smooth with no extrusions. Most VAIO laptops I've seen have not had the latch on the wrist rest, though admittedly the one you've chosen to highlight does. I'm not sure, though, that that image is typical of either Sony's laptops or PC laptops in general these days.
