Near identical specs. Poor Microsoft, they seem to be having a hell of a time...

For a fat nerd, you shouldn't "meh" at 90 gig.

For a fat nerd I can "meh" all I want, thank you very much.

Nobody ever factors in that if you call Dell and order a laptop, you can say "Take off $100" and they do it.

I was not aware of this...

While I applaud you for being thorough and catching mistakes. Most individuals wouldn't go for a smaller HD, because most wouldn't be ok swapping it out. I agree they're very comparable, but your statement saying if someone else was footing the bill they'd most all go with the macs... Not true, if it was, a lot more macs would sell than PCs with windows... You also fail to mention you could most likely run OSX on the XPS.. since the hardware is the same and all, sans mainboard :)

[arthursucks]

You are right! I guess had some bad information. I read that Apple are out selling Dell. I did some extra googling just now and you are correct. Dell is out selling Apple 2 to 1. Of course OSX, Linux, and Windows are easily installed on almost any machine these days.

mac os x & ubuntu rule / windows sux ! mac hardware = pc hardware

[TokuinB]

you looked up the specs of the wrong macbook, on the commercial she was looking at a macbook pro, the price of which was $2000 which is why she said ONLY 250gb hdd. she didnt say only because she wanted a bigger hdd, she said only because for $2000 u should be getting like 500gb hdd.

@Timmchrispops I'M SURE YOU ARE NICE AND SLIM AND BUFF. I'D MAKE YOU MY GIRL.

[MrBarrett13]

was she not talking and looking at the mac pro not the mac book you are talking about?

[airbarrel]

"in the real world majority ppl would buy a mac"

What world are you from? .. lol

[iDiggMGL]

The ending is so true. Plus most of the people on the Microsoft commercials are women. Not to be sexist, but wouldn't you think at least one of of the women would want a computer the looked luxurious? Maybe it's not a women thing because I would want a computer that looked luxurious, as anyone probably would, yet they all choose the fugly dells. Plus there is the entire argument that Microsoft stages these commercials to seem like less is more.

how is ubuntu in comparison to windows 7 and mac osx leopard

[laxgolie4ever]

I believe dell is being modest because if you dig deeper on the specs you see that the hard drive for dell runs 7200 rpm while mac at 5400. Plus a lot of little things like back lit keyboard and protection plan which cost like 300 for a mac. Dell now runs with windows 7. But the truth is that you basically buy MACs for reliability and the brand.
