Thread dedicated to uninformed dumbasses.
Now, you may be wondering, "Title, what are you talking about? Macs are OBVIOUSLY overpriced, right?"
No, and GTFO.
Let's take a look at the best that Dell has to offer in mobile performance.
(http://i.dell.com/resize.aspx/precn_m4300/100)
The Dell Precision Notebook. Pretty ugly, right? Now, let's take a look at what I'll be comparing it to, the CONSUMER line of Apple notebooks.
(http://www.gearsandwidgets.com/external/blackmacbook.jpg)
How about price? Well, the Dell is $1700, the Black MacBook (high-end) is just $1500.
Now, since we KNOW macs are overpriced, that Dell has got to have some pretty awesome specs, amirite? No.
The Dell has the following
Intel Core 2 Duo
1 Gig of RAM
80 gig HDD
Hmm, not bad.
Let's see the MacBook.
Intel Core 2 Duo with the ability to run Windows AND Mac OS X in a number of ways.
1 Gig of RAM, except not every fucking byte of it is being sucked up by Vista
160 gig hard drive, TWICE that of the Dell.
Also, the Dell is just fucking ugly.
Also, Macbooks are known for durability, Dell itself DOES NOT reccommend the Precision Notebook in the durability department.
So, essentially you're paying 200 dollars extra for....
Nothing.
THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT. rock
hi you called?
Bravo.
Dell sucks, everyone knows that. caterpie;
And no matter what, $1,500 is a lot for a computer that I won't use for anything but internet and music. I'd rather get a desktop computer with 8800 video card and play some video games on it.
ummmm shorter plz.
Dells are shit, if you're going to do a comparison, use a computer that isn't shit.

Dell sucks, and plus most people who like PC either don't know of Mac OS X or built their own PC.

of course not
I like doors better than windows because I can fit through them.
Gateway sucks too but not as hard as Dell. I'd say this laptop has better specs then that Macbook.
2gbs of ram
DVD?RW/CD-RW
Weighs only 6.3 lbs. and measures just 1.5" thin for portable power; lithium-ion battery
160GB
Intel? Core(TM)2 Duo Mobile

Not so ugly and only costs $1000. I picked out a random laptop too, there are better ones out there for the price as well. I'm just showing you that the Dell you picked out is a piece of junk. $500 less then your Macbook, and it has more ram. Such the OS is the deciding factor for you or your Macfag friends but I'd go with the Gateway if I wanted a laptop, which I don't.

Wow, those specs suck.
I have an AMD Opteron 170 Dual Core
2gb of RAM
250gb 7200RPM SATA HDD
Geforce 7600GS
And this rig only cost me $610 including a $60 AMD Athlon 64 that I don't even use anymore.
Am I supposed to pay $900 more for less?
