Answer:
You decide, you're missing
1. enough memory! it's shared with the video!
2. 802.11n!
3. software to keep the machine clean! virus checkers and anti-spyware.
4. bluray drive
5. DVI video out
but,
1. it's a nice monitor
2. it has a dvd writer
3. it will run video games very well.
I'd rather have a macbook.
No - you didn't get screwed
In US, it's 936 USD. I'd actually say you got a pretty good deal. I spent 1200 USD (1,536 AUD) on my laptop and didn't get much better than what you have there. Looks pretty good to me.
Well...compare:
