That won't satisfy Maccie claims that Apple quality is higher. And
Apple doesn't sell for the "same price." Apple's prices are always
higher, and Maccies have always justified the higher price by claiming
higher quality.

I went here http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/cto_inspn_e1405?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

and compared that to the MacBook. Both were $1,099.

The Macbook's price is a whole $13.00 higher than the Dell.

You're wrong. The $1099 Dell has 2 GB of RAM.

Add $175 to the Mac.

The Dell has two year in home service.

Add $249 to the Mac.

The Dell has a 120 GB HD.

Add $75 to the Mac.

The Dell comes with a Dell All-In-One Printer 926.

Add $99 to the Mac.

That's $1099 for the Dell compared to $1697 for the Mac.

You're wrong again. The price here is $1199 for the Dell, $100
cheaper than the Mac.

As you were saying about the Mac "always" being more expensive.


You'll have to try harder to prove that's wrong.



<The

OS makes enough of a difference to make the choice. You seem to think
that in order to have a general perception of overall superior quality a
manufacturer needs to have superiority of every model over every model
of every competing manufacturer. This is obviously false.

You created a straw man argument.

Apple does not lead the industry, in either quality or innovation.
