That Dell also outweighs the MacBook Pro by 2 lbs, and as a bonus, you get to be a software pirate. ;)
Comparing a Dell and an Apple is pointless anyway. They have completely different strategies/ideologies. Quite simply, Dell plays the price game while Apple plays the customer experience game.
It's like complaining that a burger is cheaper at McDonald's than at an upscale restaurant. Even if it was the exact same burger, you're going to pay more at the upscale restaurant because of the difference in dining experience. Some people are willing to pay for that. Some people would rather just stick with McDonald's. Neither is wrong.
