The Dell worked out to right around $1800 shipped. Let's take a little tour through why there was no way in hell I'd buy a Macbook at the same price. I'm sick of the Apple cult members trying to proselytize me even with all this better shit not on the Apple.

Construction & Weight
Dell - "Tri-Metal" case w/ aluminum, magnesium & steel 5.6 lbs; Apple - unibody aluminum 5.6 lbs (draw)

Screen
Dell - 15.6" 1920x1080 non-glossy; Apple - 15.4" 1440x900 glossy (Dell wins)

CPU
Dell - Core i7-720QM quad core; Apple - Core i5-520M dual core (Dell wins)

Memory
Dell - 8 GB DDR3-1333; Apple - 4 GB DDR3-1066 (Dell wins)

Hard drive
Dell - 500 GB 7200 RPM; Apple - 320 GB 5400 RPM (Dell wins)

Video card
Dell - Nvidia Quadro NVS 3100M 512 MB; Apple Nvidia Geforce GT 330M 256 MB (Apple has better GPU with less memory)

Both have backlit keyboards, bluetooth, wireless-N, and need an adapter to hook up to the HDMI plug on my tv.

Glowing Apple logo so I can look cool to other cult members
Dell - no; Apple - yes (Dell wins)

NO APPLE FOR ME!
