Yea, all the computers at my high school were dells and all the military computers here on base are dells. I know the military has a deal with dell because military members also get dell discounts. They were probly the cheapest to buy in bulk.

I cant wait to see what the intel apple processors will be. I wonder if they will all be the same spec or if they will have a range of x.xghz processors.
