this guy Robert Scoble is a legend in the msft world, I'm not really sure what his background is actually, and now he is with a startup anyway. But msft people read him religiously.

So today is he contemplating buying a Macbook. Hahah. And then the comments are a lot of wintel people trying to defend Dull.

Dell does have its problems. It’s getting squeezed on the high end by Apple and on the low end by the Chinese.And they have earned a reputation for inconsistent customer service (I’ve always been treated well by Dell, I had two of their computers under my desk at Microsoft).

One thing that Dell should make a bigger deal about is their new HD laptops. Apple doesn’t do full 1080i resolution. Dell has a laptop that does and I started seeing a few of those spring up around Microsoft before I left. The screen is stunning.

It’s unfortunate, though, that their case design is so uninspired. Apple will continue winning high-end sales not because of their features or price but simply because they put together a total package that is simply sexier than what Dell is offering.
