Check out the American Apple Store - the basic 1.6GHz G5 is US$1800 which is €1500. You are paying a lot more in Europe for the same stuff.


And I'd question how you've configured your Dell. When I try the configure a Dell to the same specs at Dell.com I get $3208 vs $3498 for the Mac. Hardly a massive difference.


When I was buying a notebook a Powerbook was more than cost effective as compared to your name brand Intel books.

    I guess the European Apple store lists VAT which the US one doesn't?
