I have used Dell business laptops they suck nowhere near Apple in quality not to mention the crap OS...So far I really like my M3800 build quality is the same as an Apple product I've used.

... what?It was utterly useless for spreadsheet or presentation work.
I can do things on the Latitude that I can't on a Mac like easily replace the screen hinge or replace the battery.
Yeah, a user who wants actual usability out of his computer.
That's what annoys me about nicjasno's iMac too. You have to trick it to do things you want to do.
Didn't you have major problems with Samsung SSD's before?
At this point, it's pointless to even consider spinning drives for anything other than storage.
We use the Dell business ultrabooks at work, they are all made out of plastic, about as thick as my old style MacBook Pro, keyboard is crap, touchpad is worse.I've owned two Latitude laptops and had hands on experience with the entire early E-series range and most of the D-series. There's nothing cheap feeling about them in the slightest IMO. My D630 is nearly 7 years old and has survived years of college use/abuse. While its no longer the prettiest thing around, I still use it to this day. The only reason why I don't have my E6420 was due to me fubaring the Failturn...
Because you don't need to... No seriously... I got a nearly 4 year old MBP, wife has a 5+ year old aluminum MB, hinges are perfectly fine on both and hers has been dropped about 20 times already (including once this morning). Battery on her is easily replaced and was recently, on mine needs a special screw driver but get this its still got good capacity, somewhere around 3-4 hours (used to be around 5).I've no doubt that Apple builds a great laptop, I love their design, but I can do things on the Latitude that I can't on a Mac like easily replace the screen hinge or replace the battery.
Excel is an abomination to use on Mac OS. No shortcuts work, half the inputs are menu only and my macros are screwed up.
Different tools for different jobs know what I'm saying? A lot of people seem to like the Mac for development work, even those who don't code for OS X or iOS. I got a friend who works in a DC where all their workstations are Macs, they support all *nix servers and it's convenient to have an OS with a built in terminal instead of having to screw around with Putty.Yeah, a user who wants actual usability out of his computer.

You don't want a Dell... ever...
Cuz they suck?

Whatchu smoking? I've used it on Mac all the shortcuts work just fine, just need to use the command key instead of alt/ctrl. Some shortcuts are a bit turned about but that's more because of how the OS deals with shortcuts I guess.

There are also a lot of cool things you can do with things like Apple scripts, for example back when I had a workspace at home I had a dock for my laptop with a wired connection. I had it set to turn of wi-fi and run wired only as soon as it got a wired connection and vice versa. You can do all kinds of location aware things with them like say have it automount network shares and printers when you are in the Office.
I got a still running XPS but running is a strong word for it...I don't know man.. I've owned two Latitudes and two Optiplexes.. One of each are still running, and all were built like tanks.
I think a lot of people at Google would disagree with you calling them hisptersHipsters who only work webdev and only ever need to SSH into real machines can live on OSX.
People who actually write real software that said servers run (like say, the kernel or the webservers) from the ground up tend to prefer either Linux or Windows, depending on what they're building for. OSX just hides too much underlying functionality to work properly for that sort of workflow. Not to mention outdated fucking everything and a severe disparity between what we run on servers and what we run locally. If you need a VM to do development, you should probably reconsider your main OS.
