If you cant see the difference then....

Then what? I'm not a computer geek? If that's your case, then I concede wholeheartedly!

You see, some of us don't really care what's inside of a computer. We care that it works when it should, and works well. For my criteria, a PC works fine. My 5-year old Dell desktop still does the trick for basic home use, and has never crashed. My 3 year old Gateway laptop has a short battery life and several semi-broken keys due to my 1 year old, but otherwise works well. I've ordered a number of Dell laptops for my family members over the last two years, do you realize that you can get a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 15.4" laptop for under $500? Several of them have been using them for 2-3 years with zero issues.

So, here's your chance to sell me. For the average user like me, why would a $1500 Apple better suit my needs?
