Sorry, Dell... it's still a PC
You have to admire the effort Dell put into the new line of 'Studio' PCs. The specs are all there: high def screens, Core2 Duo chips, tons of memory, even an optional blu-ray drive. For the most part, the new models stack up very well with the MacBook Pro,
Then they went and screwed the whole thing up with Vista.
Yes, the downfall of any would-be Mac killer: Windows. For all the bells and whistles and superior hardware features, the so-called "creative" PCs still fail to win over the artists, design professionals and hipsters that have long been Apple's bread and butter because they all run Windows. That clunky, do-everything OS that just seems to get worse every time they try to make it better.
Dell at least is making an attempt to make Vista suck a little less. The company rolled out the "Dell Dock," an on-screen semi-translucent par in which desktop icons and frequently-used applications can be placed. it's also known as "a lawsuit waiting to happen."
Mac inspector please,soryy dell...It's still a pc????
That's the problem with the ignorant mac crowd,you think a mac is something special,when in actuallity all it is,is a large MP3,camera,picture viewer.
And that is all you can do with a mac.Don't get the two confused anymore,DELL is a computer,and a mac...well lets just say it is not.

The problem with Ignorant Mac people is that they think that their Mac is not a Personal Computer(PC) which it is. As for windows choice of OS is down to the user the adobe design software is almost identical in both and if people really dont want to run windows but dont want to pay for the stupidly over priced apple pc hardware they can always just install BSD alright it does not have apples pretty front end but its the basis of their operating system.

I want to put a bunch of disks in that computer and it's hard for me to find a cheap computer from Dell or HP with a bunch of internal drive bays, but you can pretty easily buy a reasonable computer enclosure with plenty of internal drive bays. Building yourself can save money, and I'm all about saving some money on this.
