You can't. The only 17" macbook has a 2.16GHz processor, and

$2799 with 1GB ram. Upping to 2GB is $300 more.
If you could downgrade the processor, it'd probably be about $300
less
(rough guess), so $2800 vs $1350... hmmm....
Sheesh. Follow the logic _completely_ through gentlemen. Not just the
processor, but everything. None of the 17" specs match up. The ram,
the drive, the resolution, etc. Apple does not make build-to-order
laptops so it a direct comparison with the specs that you want is not
possible. For a direct comparison, you have to find a computer that
matches Apple's specs, not the other way around.
All of the other hardware specs he listed matched. I had nothing else
to go on. It was the same processor model, same amount of ram, same
hard drive, same screen size. I didn't note the screen resolution,
though, so maybe that is what you're talking about?
And a dedicated graphics card, and Bluetooth and a bunch of other
things. See my other post for the full breakdown.
