Question

Answer 1

If you want a better display, better battery, faster and better optical drive, more and faster ram, larger and faster hard drive, faster processor, more connections, better heatsink, better motherboard, non-integrated video card, better sound card for much less, then get the dell.

Answer 2

The hardware's pretty much the same so it all comes down to the operating system. Do you prefer OS X or Windows? They're both equally capable, they just do things differently.

Answer 3

Dell laptops are not better quality. If you buy a Dell for 800$, you get what you pay for: cheap hardware...  But it is not only a hardware thing, it's more of an operating system thing.  I would recommend a mac because you can run both Windows and OS X on the same machine, even at the same time if buy the software for it :-)

OS X is a really great OS... try it !!

If you don't like it you can always install Windows on it...

And with the MacBook you get better hardware and you never have to call the Geek Squad with OS X :-)

Answer 6

Dell makes great laptops!  Macs are ... not so great.  Both last, but Windows is compatible with everything.

You'll have less of a headache with a Dell since everything comes installed and ready to use!

Answer 7

apple is  better my school is on dell and non of the computers work properly my family is on apple and we never get viruses because we have such good fire walls already built in

Answer 8

Mac Mac Mac.  Ive owned 4 different Dell laptops and I havnt learned my lesson.  Dell's are completely unreliable.  For open source GL cards you just cannot beat what Mac has in the realm of video cards and they can run multiple aps without constant crashes.
