Apple has always been overpriced in my opinion. You're paying a huge premium for OS X and the 'experience'. In my opinion, the Linux 'experience' is just as significant, which includes aesthetics similar to that of OS X, should you choose to make them that way, or better, when you make the visual appearances exactly how you want them. The problem is the average user is too afraid to install their own OS, assuming they even know how to burn an ISO. If you look strictly at a hardware comparison with pricing at an apple with any other notebook, you will see that apple is way over priced. But apple computers, from the viewpoint of the end user who doesn't have computer experience, 'just work'.
As far as Dell is concerned though, I never saw their computers as very high as far as quality is concerned. So I don't know what I would do if I had to choose between Dell and Apple.
In my opinion, if you want the stability and looks of OS X, without paying the money, just get Linux. Assuming you know how.
I know it seems like I'm all bout Linux, but I do use Windows on a daily basis as well, and I view the apple crowd as those who are looking for an alternative to Windows.
i have a dell inspiron. the dell just seems more like a laptop. it has better functions and apple doesnt work like a desktop. if you have an apple computer, i would go with apple. if you had anything other than apple then i would go with a dell. and all my friends that have apple hate it because of the memory and it will randomly crash or freeze, and i have never had a problem with any dell
yeah my opinion is also DELL. this is one started long ago. most of using DELL products.so much of models introduced by DELL like such as labtops, phones, ultra book....etc...

Dell is my choice as well. It is reliable enough, easier to use and cheaper.
Actually, I would go with Toshiba with Win 7. What I am going to get next. This toshiba is 7 years old and still on the original battery. Of coarse I calibrate the battery from time to time.
I believe you may prefer the Dell with win 7. Special order from Dell website.

Build your own!...............that way you get what YOU want, rather than what THEY are selling?

Hi Shay,
I guess that what we should tell the people is that if you buy Apple, you are locked into their hardware and software?
With a PC of any brand, you will have more flexibility?
:)
Why I build my own PCs.
1. They last longer
2. Cheaper
3. Ain't tied to a bunch of junk they dump on you.
4. Apple OS is a butchered Linux version in my book and as you state, locked in as far as hardware goes.
Client had a complete fit when he found out I paid 1/2 of what he did for a store bought PC which was slower.

Any such person who does this will get what they wanted since they may not know any better, or by doing the exercise realise what will meet their needs. I often add the comment of not to buy the product at these places as they charge through the nose and part way into the base of the brain.
and of course anyone know wants to build their own PC but doesn't know what they want need are only doing so because they were told that was the best choice - and usually end up paying for stuff they dont utilise fully when a less expensive OEM would have been fine.
If someone is buying a new computer, they don't have an existing one and have no pre-existing use or software requirement I recommend Apple straight off the bat, even if only to prevent the inevitable trademark windows heartache. Plus they have some awesome software suites.
In my view Dell would be the best
In my Point Of View Apple is better machine , Reliable , and very unique :). but is is much expensive then Dell .. We Cant Compare any Systems with Apple it gets a really we amazing graphics (^_^)
Dell Systems are heavier than Apple systems .
If you are buying, then buy the cheapest...................otherwise build your own or get someone to do it for you?
I have built stuff for around £250 that have been perfectly adequate for the user requirements. Shop bought stuff is aimed at what their marketing men think will sell?
I think that home entertainment/theatre is a classic example? with music or a film, everything will happen at exactly the same time and place...................do you need an i7 for that?
Miserable old fart signing off :D
My choice is Dell. Both of them can work well, but Mac is more expensive.
If the prices of both machines would be equal I would choose Apple. Otherwise I prefer a PC.

Apple are the three A's " Anal , Archaic, Arses"....... I would not even accept one as a gift!
If I cannot change the battery, I KNOW that I am dealing with rip-off artists.
Oww, don't hurt my Apple stock. :)
Nothing wrong with Apple stock, or their products...................just their business model does not suit the PC environment.
