    Dell doesn't try to have the same image of quality as apple does.

    Dell doesn't charge an extra percentage for it's
    reputition of quality.

    Dell doesn't sell mp3 players that have unreplacable batteries in them.

    Dell has not had a string of logic board and lcd failures on their products like apple has.

    Please note, that I can not stand dell due to their corp policies and I am in no way a dell fan, but facts are facts and worshiping apple as some a diety doesn't change the facts.
