Yeah, your HP might have better specs. However:
1) Glossy screen reflects light, creates glare. Personally, I don't like that.
2) MB/MBP can come in a glossy screen, if that's your thing. Free upgrade (or downgrade, however you see it)
3) How much does that HP weigh? How thick is it? Yeah, that's what I thought.
I got a MacBook Pro for work (I work as a Computer Technician, 3/5 of my time is spent fixing Macs) and I love it. Never used a Mac before, but I was a bigtime Linux person. So many nice features with Apple hardware.
No, I'm not a fanboy. Yes, the Black MB for $200 more is rediculous. But hey, it's certainly got a lot of nice features, you can't deny that.
