[QUOTE="baggss, post: 373918, member: 6762"] Yes, a 12 inch Dell is MORE expensive than a 15inch Mac! I would compare an Inspiron to a MacBook, not a MacBookPro. Inspiron and MB are the lower tier offerings, MBP and XPS are the upper tier. If I compare the XPS 17 inch to a 17 inch MBP, the XPS costs even more than the MBP does. The Dell comes in at $2879 and Mac at $2799. Even the VRAM and the HDD matches this time. This is for the lowest tier XPS you can get from Dell. Again, the price is pretty close. If you go for the upper end XPS, it WAY out there ($4000+) but it does have BlueRay and some other options that Apple doesn't offer. For a comparable Inspiron vs MB I get $1172 for the Dell and $1299 for the Mac (White). Again, pretty darn comparable. My point is that the myth that Macs cost significantly more, or is some case more at all, than their PC counterpart is a load horse manure. [/QUOTE]
