Mac way more expensive than dells? Oh really...?

"Despite the "Apples to Apples" claim, a closer inspection reveals that Dell has cherry-picked models while glossing over what its systems omit. In notebooks, the Studio notebooks are using 1.73GHz quad Core i7s versus the Macbook Pro's 2.66GHz dual Core i7. The latter is potentially faster in most cases and also gives Apple a much longer nine hours of peak battery life versus Dell's 5.5 and eight hours maximum at the quoted prices.

Dell also selectively omits display quality, backlit keyboards, Bluetooth, size, weight and the quality of support. It likewise choose temporary sales prices rather than the permanent, full price.
