[quote][i]Originally posted by evilrob[/i] The main advantage is being able to run OS X natively and legally - I don't think running OS X on hardware which contravenes its licensing terms is a good idea in a work environment. Although the OP doesn't *need* OS X for work (neither do I, working predominantly with Windows users), he said he would use it if he had it. Having both a Dell and a Macbook of similar spec, I could choose to use either for any given task; the fact is I choose the Mac every time because it's nicer to use (i.e. it's the path of least resistance, I can do stuff quicker on it even if I have to jump into an OS other than OS X), it looks and feels better built and I enjoy using it more. The only thing we know about the Dell is that it's got a "better" Core i7 processor vs. the Macbook's Core i5; but unless the OP is doing CAD or media encoding, the difference in performance between the i7 and the i5 chip is going to be imperceptible to the user (assuming similar clock speeds). The Core i7 will, however, run hotter and make a noticeable dent in the battery life to the tune of 30-40 minutes over its i5 equivalent on average. [Edited on 16-02-2013 by evilrob] [/quote]
