I'm planning to buy a new laptop. Please help me choose between the two.
M4400
Windows Vista® Business 64-BIT SP1 (Can be upgraded to Windows 7)
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad QX9300 (2.53GHz, 12M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) OR
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9800 (2.93GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB
4.0GB, DDR2-800 SDRAM
15.4” UltraSharp™ WXGA+ (1440x900) LED Display
160GB Hard Drive, 7200RPM with Free Fall Sensor
MBP 15"
2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 512MB
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
320GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
I will mainly use this computer on 2D and 3D CAD softwares, like Autocad and Solidworks.
Dell M4400 has NVIDIA Quadro and Intel Quad Core, which has superior performance than MBP.
On the other hand Mac is a lot reliable (stable, virus free, longer battery life) than Windows (from what I've heard. I haven't used mac). If I ever choose MBP, I still have to use boot camp to use the windows native cad software like solidworks.
