No manufacturer is going to sell a laptop for $20, dude.

I have a macbook pro 17"

I had a dell 8500 before it

macbook >>>>>>>> dell

There is a program called parallels that runs windows, or bootcamp also does the same thing. And if you play on full tilt, you dont even have to have those.

I enjoy not having viruses too. You are a baller, buy both and if you dont like the macbook, ebay it or send it back, they don't depreciate bad at all.

WTF? They use the same processors. You also can't get as high of resolution with a Macbook Pro as you can with a Dell or other Windows laptop.

Also, to run Windows on a Macbook you'll have to buy a copy of Windows along with it and set up the dual boot yourself (or pay some third party to do it). Apple won't do that for you.

Can't figure out how to get dell links to work, but you can get the same laptop they have on ebay except with 2GB or ram instead of 4 and a 500gb hard drive instead of 320 for $1980. Just go here and change a few options:
