Mac vs Dell

Being a computer guy, I’m frequently asked to give my $0.02 on which laptop is the best bang for your buck. User experience on the Mac is hands-down better, but is it worth $900 (64%) more in price? But as usual, it comes down to your needs and wants. So as I always ask when closing with this argument; do you drive a honda civic or a mercedes benz?
