    Well what are you going to use the machine for? If its games your pushing for, the Dell would probably be better.

    Also as both of them are US models, you will get the US keyboards, power etc. What is the shipping price to Ireland?

    Thank for the response here, I was much inclined to Dell.
    I would be using it for games and for 3D animation using Maya / 3ds Max.
    Kin coming over for summer, they would be getting them.
    Cheers

    I bought a mac and two months later bought a new pc due too all the problems i was having including internet connectivity issues uploading websites and more.
    Mac has some great features but it depends on what for If you wanna create music and things the mac is great. If you are gonna buy bothpc + mac like me my advice is buy the pc first.
