I have a hp laptop with half as many hours of use as my MacBook pro.

The hinges are loose, the keyboard keys are all starting to show wear from use, the trackpad has a circle worn in it, yet my MacBook pro still looks brand new.

That's well worth the $200 to me. When a product can be used for more than a year and still look new from dell, let me know :)

Design is my preference, but that's also why I wear a quality pear of cleats to play soccer in, I want my investment to remain reliable, so while my up keys are popping off, I'm still typing away happily :)

my dad has used dells for years for xerox and the past two have looked almost new when they were turned back in to upgrade and those were used for 3+yrs several hours a day. his compaq lappy the keyboard died twice and mousepad was going but the dells only lost the battery after it was well way past its death date

Both of my parents have Dell laptops, both over 2 years old. They look ok, but not new. Both Dells have had to to be sent in for the fan failing. :banghead: My my only complaint.
