These dissing matches are ridiculous, especially when they are over cheap, bottom-dwelling configurations.
None of you Mac afficionados want that piece of junk (the Apple one) and none of us PC users do either (the Dell and/or Apple piece of junk). I'm embarrased for you guys that you are even acting excited over it, a piece of junk. (Does make one wonder if you've been sneaking a belt or two of the iKool Aid!)
Apple needs to stick to the high end. These forays into cheapness require too much smoke, mirrors, and sticky tape to pull off while maintaining even a modicum of the Mac Mystique. They wind up looking pathetic and, worse, pandering (from their lofty perch).
People might buy a cheapo PC/WinTel to Surf the web and do some word processing... but what would be the point of buying a cheapo Mac?
