Approximately $3000 a tonne does not equate to $1000 per macbook.
But I must say, I would much prefer Apple go about with an extruded aluminium process so that you get the structural integrity of a block through a shell, and obvious encapsulation of the electronics by slapping on some side panels on after. That sounds like a far cheaper process than machining of an aluminium block, taking into account waste and energy costs.
Regardless of what I think, I'm sure Apple's "Brick" isn't as straight forward as has been suggested. This is nice marketing fluff that makes the technical bits easier to digest.
