That does not look like a huge war
My thoughts exactly. Heck, calling it a skirmish would be generous.
I am sure the OP is referring to some additional threads though in his/her statement concerning the "Huge Apple vs. Dell War".
That does not look like a huge war
Hello all,
Recently on Yahoo! Answers (I know, I know, not the greatest website), there has been a huge Apple vs. Dell war. Unfortunately, trolls have taken over the category of computers, and a few select users have been posting spam links for Dell.
A answer I posted to a question about "what's the best laptop for me" also ended up being answered by a troll. Now there is a huge voting war between my answer and the troll's answer.
If it isn't any trouble, can I get some support on this question? Vote for my answer at this link:

P.S. - I'm the guy who recommends the Apple MacBook refurb.
Thanks in advance!
Exactly.
Dell notebooks are large, bulky, and some of the uggliest laptops out there.
Plus, they run Windows.
That is not a huge war going on. I define huge war something with minimum 20+ posts each 2 min. Also, nice try on Personal Army request. Just post ask for people to vote for your refurb macBook idea.
I am glad someone else thought "personal army" too. I am curious, did you also consider typing 'lurk moar,' because I know I did.
I love those threads.
I looked at macs but didnt have what I wanted/needed on the hardware realm.
Bluray/hdmi were two very important things for me.
The machine I ended up with exceeds my expectations especially for the price and warranty.
Apple much nicer looking computer, very nice display but lacked in the bluray and hdmi area and was over $500 more than the dell.
Yea, but you pay more than a premium. You can get cables for HDMI. And blu-ray? Sony disgusts me with their proprietary formats. It's trying to drag a pig through mud getting video off their camcorders. And then I have to convert the file, lose a bunch of quality. meh.. Don't see why you "need" blu-ray capability so bad. It's unstable and costly. And a waste of money.

Dell is a very good hardware maker. It's windows where it is let down.
in their high end stuff i agree
when people say dell has crappy hardware, they forget that the machines in question are marketed as very affordable systems to the masses...aka cheap to buy
if apple adopted that strategy, they would have inferior hardware at that low of price point as well
My Dell laptop runs Ubuntu Linux
Ok, allow me to restate that sentence..
The majority of Dells run Windows, and I'm pretty sure that no OEM's come with Linux on them.
OMG.
That is so me!
Someone from MacRumors has been stalking me!
How is he trolling, because you don't like his answer? Voted for him.
