[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 813927, member: 24160"] That Dell is definitely a superior machine hardware wise. But, you're asking the wrong question. The question is: "Is my wife worth it?" They're popular because of the Operating System. There are problems on occasion, it is a computer after all. But, for the most part and for most people, it really does just seem to work. No anti-virus or spyware software to install and be using up part of your system resources all the time. The tweaking you have to do to keep that other OS running at top speed is almost non-existent with OS X. Now if it were me, I'd be eyeing the prospect of overclocking that i7 chip up to 4Ghz and definitely a great video card there along with the B-R player. But then I'd have to go back to that other OS. That makes it about a tie between the two of them. [/QUOTE]
