[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 364549, member: 21101"] Whenever I get into this conversation with people, I do wonder where they're looking. MacBook Black (since this is the machine I am on now). From Apple's website. CPU - C2D @ 2.0ghz RAM - 1 GB HDD - 120GB Gfx - GMA950 Media - DVD R/W 13" Screen, built in camera, blue-tooth etc. All yours for $1499 Equivalent Dell CPU - C2D @ 2.0ghz Ram - 1GB HDD - 120GB Gfx - GMA950 Media DVD R/W 12.1" Screen, comes with a built in camera and hi speed wi-fi. Costs $1,767 [url]http://ecomm.dell.com/dellstore/basket.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&itemtype=CFG&oid=c554dd8f-f532-475a-8184-a80c57abff33[/url] The thing is, the Dells always look cheaper, but as soon as you increase the CPU speed from the standard 1.83ghz to 2.0ghz, increase the HDD from 80GB to 120GB and add a camera and blue-tooth, the price leaps ahead. It's a myth that like for like machines from Apple cost more. Plus, even if I do say so myself, a MacBook is significantly better looking that a Dell. [/QUOTE]
