Thanks for the comparo. The Dell at $8 Dollars more has about $600 more in
screen size and additional features. It also Runs VISTA while the mac runs
OSX 10.4 which is clearly outdated. But at least apple seems to be trying.



$600 more screen size? The Mac's screen is brighter and the same pixels --
Dell's just a coarser screen making for a wider, thicker, heavier laptop. And
the Mac runs Vista too. Dell with more features? Hah! Are you even reading
the same web page?
