For basic computer use, I'd say an eMachine blows any Apple configuration out of the water in terms of value. Granted, Dell isn't exactly a "straw man," seeing as how more people buy from Dell than eMachines, but if you're just comparing Macs to PCs, why stick with just Dell? More details here with real numbers, not just some poorly equipped salesperson yammering on.
