In the meantime well the mac might be sexier, I think the performance of the dell at the given price is going to be tough to beat.
Perhaps. I don't think it's practical to expect Apple is going to beat Dell on raw performance for price most of the time, as that's what Dell's value proposition is. The difference, of course, is that a Mac has a better overall experience and arguably (much) better application software. Whether you're willing to put up with a less desireable experience for less price is a judgement call.
