I don't see how this is still going. If you think the Dell is better, get the Dell. If you want the Mac, get the Mac. When you buy computers, there will be things to sacrifice, and you will just have to buy according to your needs. Example, the Dell has the new i7, the Mac does not. But, the Mac runs OS X, the Dell does not. Just simple examples there.
But in all honesty, go for what you need, not what you want. If I bought the computer I wanted, I would have had to sell all my possessions and work more hours than I blink. But instead, I got something that fit well for my needs, which was a 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook with a gig of RAM. It has suited my needs for well into a year, and still does. Yes, it kinda lags a bit when doing heavy intensive stuff like running GarageBand with 15 tracks, each with their own effects, with Safari and iTunes running at the same time, but hey, it is still doing what I want it to do effectively.
