That might have put me over the top for the apple... but that darn $450 additional cost just somehow did not seem worth it. Plus I don't have an annoying, glowing apple on the bottom of my monitor. That alone was worth saving $450... er.... yah! ;)

hah, that apple doesnt bother me. i, and everyone else, knows where my heart lies. as far as money is concerned, i dont like it and i think its a bunk, manipulative system. so i try to rid myself of as much of it as possible, in large swoops. :)

$450 additional cost is much, but in Switzerland (with studen price) I only pay about 200$ more. And so I taught it's ok. $450 is quite a lot of difference.

Yah, thats not much of a difference. At "retail" US price the Dell is $799 and the Apple is $999, but the Dell is always on sale and I got it for $550, the problem is the Apple is never on sale. If they were the same price or up to $50 different I would get the apple, anything greater means less money to spend on other parts.
