Laptop Comparison MacBook/Darter Ultra

I have been a Mac user for almost 5 years and have been using Linux for almost 4 years.  The other day I was wondering how an Ubuntu Laptop would compare to the MacBook if I was in the market for a new laptop.  I put together a quick comparison of the Darter Ultra built by System 76 and MacBook.  The Darter has a lot more options to configure, I chose the Darter because I wanted the smallest laptop offered.
