It has been proven time and time again that these price comparisons are comletely meaningless, when you add other factors like software that comes with the computer, quality of components (which Dell is known for the lack of thereof. Lookup a story about Dell knowingly selling defective computers to government) and customer service.
Your $500 Pc will be completely worthless 3 years down the road. A $1600 MBP would still fetch you $1000 3 years later.
