Add Wireless N, a Bluetooth dongle, a battery upgrade (~5 hours standard versus the macs ~7), Roxio Easy CD Creator (covers the cost and SOME of the functionality of iLife, standard on all Macs for $20 off the sticker price of iLife), ignore the fact that it can't do multi-touch on the trackpad and remove the current automatically added coupon ($249) and the price comes out to $1083.
but Roxio is free with the machine, and it STILL only came up to 750$ after the wireless N and bluetooth AND battery upgrades, so whatever you are smoking you can stop it.
I even looked at that mac, and in order to match dell's free service you would have to add AppleCare and One to One. With the 2gb ram upgrade and the mini display port and mini VGA port adapters (because the studio already HAS a VGA and DVI port) we can add Bento to match the functionality of windows 98 for your file browser, and we are up to about 1800$.
