Good advice about one person's bad experience, since I've worked with
Dell machines for many years and are happy with them. As for ease of
use, that seems to depend largely these days on what system you're
brought up on--I find a Mac much harder to maneuver around on than a PC,
and the Mac people I work with find the opposite. (Of course, keep in
mind that Microsoft has "borrowed" many of the features that originally
made Macs more intuitive).

The greater software availability for PCs generally outweighs other
factors for me.
