Just for kicks I checked it out with a comparable dell with 20" widescreen monitor like you did with the apple. I'm at 6,380.00 with only 4gb memory no bluetooth, or wireless capability, no usb modem although i have no idea why you added it. Why can you only buy 4gb of memory for the top of the line dell? Buy the time you add the left out items you will surely wind up a tad higher than the apple. You still won't have great software programs like iphoto, itunes, imovie, or garage band. So looks like your wrong.
