>From my experience, I'm not a big fan of Dell. The reason why we standardized on Thinkpads at work was because of all the problems we had with Dell laptops. From flimsy plastic hinges on the lcd's to the keyboards going out, to flaky drives, we just never had good luck with Dell's......and we tried for several years.
Construction wise, it seems the MacBook is more in line with the Thinkpad which we usually spend about 1800 ~ 2400 a piece. The only thing we buy from Dell nowadays are the desktops since they are pretty inexpensive and we can work on them relatively easy....and we have to occasionally.
