Another reason to buy a Mac...
...the price. It's a real Apples-to-apples comparison between comparable Dell (sorry, Jaime) and Apple offerings, based solely on price. (Can you spot the one flawed point?)
Some feedback on the article pointed out one flaw in his reasoning, something I spotted but couldn't articulate to myself. He says that Dell offers "just a monitor" but that Apple offers some kind of wonder-display. The Apple displays are great, but the Dell 20" really is both cheaper and more versatile, feature-wise. The flaw in the flaw? Dell doesn't offer 23" or 30" models at all, and someone looking to do HD cinema work would need that 30" to display a full frame.
Oh, and there's the other argument, that one could buy a complete computer from Dell for $500, while the cheapest eMac would cost $800. I could also buy a C64 for $10, but that doesn't mean it's useful for anything.
