Perhaps I am ignorant, but I just configured a ?baseline? top of the line iMac with the 2.93 GHz iCore7 processor. The Apple price is about $2200. When I go to Dell and try to configure a similar computer (Optiplex 980 SFF) I stopped when the price hit $3100. The processor, memory, hard drive are the same; Dell is not really an all-in-one, but it tries to look like one; graphics card is NVidia Quadro NVS 420 with only 512MB of RAM (couldn?t find any card with 1 GB RAM, not sure if cards perform similarly). Looks to me as if Dell is the overpriced computer.
Before you gripe that you Dell isn?t relevant, I would say that they are representative of a name brand similar to Apple. Of course I would expect to purchase an off brand for less.
