Well, you can't really compare the 2, but I'll give it a try.
The 15" MBP with 2.8Ghz, 320GB HD @ 7200, 4GB DDR3 is $2,849 The Dell, with 2.8GHz, 320GB HD @ 7200, add Bluetooth, 802.11n, Vista Ultimate, is $4,792.
The Dell has RAID, room for dual drives, a better video card, e-sata port, 17" display, and a 64 bit architecture, but I'm not sure those additions are worth almost $2,000 more. I'd love to have one, but I'd rather have a kick ass server *and* a MBP.
If this was, say, $3,000, then maybe, but it really does seem quite expensive for what Dell is giving you. This is way beyond Apple expensive, this is holy freaking Christ expensive.
