Hey guys, I'm torn between a 13.3 apple, with backlit keyboard, 4gb memory, 500gb hard drive, i5 processor, 7 hr battery, bluetooth 2.1, intel 4000 graphics or a dell 15R special edition 15.4", i7 processor, 8gb memory, 750gb hard drive, backlit keyboard, facial recongnition, 1yr protect and damage plan, 10hr battery, bluetooth 4.0, wireless display, 2gb graphics card. Both are about $1,100. I have had 2 dells, both been great, no issues. Apples are the best, but my dad and gf both had to take there apples back for warrenty issues. I'm leaning on the dell, but would like input.

Well I feel the same way about apple, and its a straight forward answer yes. I don't plan to do any editing. I just wanted another 2 cents from someone else. I love windows 7, and honestly I don't have any problems. Plus my school classes are about windows and lynix, so I figured windows would be best, but just wanted to hear peoples opinions, thanks. Ill have to look into the screen,

I. Like the apples for reliablilty, but I bought a dell 17R about a year ago with i5 processor, 500gb, 6gb ram, and I haven't had one problem with it. Super fast, dependible, powems up in seconds everytime. But its too big to lug around with me. So the 15" will be fine. But since my gf and dads apple have been in the shop a couple times, I haven't been too happy with apple. If I spend a grand I want a good one. I know anything can happen, but that's why ill buy 1year of protection and damage protection included in that grand. I do want an apple phone, cause the andriods haven't been good with me. But my 6 year old dell I gave to my grandparents, and it still works great. I bought mom a new 15R last year too, and no issues. I think ill go with the dell, prolly order in a few weeks. I want to be compatible as much as possible too. Thanks guys

I like the fact that I can sync to my Ipod wirelessly from Itunes, especially when im upstairs, and my ipod is in the jeep outside.

Yeah I have built my own. But I like knowing sometimes I dont have to build it, and its got warranty from someone else to fix it. I dont have the time for that. Ive got about 13-15 hrs a day between school and work. Full time work, and full time school. As of right now, my phone went kaplueee, so ill be spending some money out right on a new iphone 4s. So I may for right now buy a bigger battery for the 17R to last me, and carry that clunker around, till I get some money together, lol.

exactly.

They make those features for both platforms.

I agree with the above statement about upgrades and fixing. PC's are easy to unscrew the back to add more ram, or a different HDD or Solid State.

Well thats what I ment. I have PC itunes, and have it wirelessly synced, but to have the devices it self sync together.

The only reason for $1100 is because a back lit keyboard is a must, at least i5 processor, at least 6GB ram, either 14 or 15" screen, at least 8hrs battery life, and a good graphics card. The best and cheapest price for all that was $900, but for $1000 I could get better graphics, i7, 8GB ram, so I felt it was worth it. $1100, unless I can get it cheaper.
