Jill If you do some timely searching, you can get some great deals at Dell Outlet. I have owned 3-4 Dell laptop and desktop machines and have no real problem with them. My Macbook is 2.16 ghz with 2 gig of ram. 120 HD. I have a 500 gig USB drive I use for back-up on all of my machines. With this laptop I bought a 21: inch HP monitor that swivels for dual display, so I can use it for reading news papers and reports. The Apple DVI cable works well. So far I haven't seen any Apple application that makes buying an Apple a must. I do like a program called Pandora and use Firefox for Browsing. I wish Apple allowed for more visual display customization.
