We wouldn't trade anything for our beloved Macs, but Dell knows that not everyone feels that way. Most people just care about the final price. Unfortunately for them, their most recent Dell to Apple comparison has been outed for being just plain inaccurate. We know companies often omit a lot of the extras Macs come with when they make these comparisons, but we're glad the rest of the world, via Electronista, is catching on.

This time, Dell pit its Zino HD against the Mac mini, the Inspiron 560 against the 21-inch iMac, and the Studio 15 and 17 against the comparatively sized MacBook Pros. They claim Apple charges over double for their portables with "similar" specifications.

Not surprisingly, Dell compares models that omit a lot of what you actually get with the "equivalent" Mac. For example, their notebooks use 1.73GHz quad Core i7 processors, while the MacBook Pros they compare use 2.66 GHz dual Core i7s. The Mac processor is not only potentially faster, but also gives the MacBook Pro a much longer battery life. Dell's maximums are 5.5 and 8 hours. The MacBook gets 9 hours.

And, like every other MacBook versus PC notebook comparison, Dell conveniently omits screen quality, size, weight, backlit keyboards, materials, overall construction, Bluetooth, and trackpad quality. Even worse, they compare the sale prices for their products, not the regular full price.

Dell's desktop comparison is even shadier, since their specifications are seriously weaker. The Zino HD they compare to the Mac mini uses a far slower Athlon Neo X2 processor, lower grade graphics, and no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (especially shocking to Mac users, who are used to getting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with everything).

The Inspiron tower they compare to the previous-generation iMac has a Core 2 Quad fixed at 2.33 GHz, significantly slower than the dual 3.2 GHz Core i3 Apple currently uses in its $1,499 iMac. They also say the iMac doesn't have 802.11n Wi-Fi, when it has both this and Bluetooth. Plus, the iMac's screen is a color-accurate IPS panel and comes with a matching wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse. The Inspiron uses a budget LCD.

Did we mention students get at least 10% off all Mac systems and a free iPod with every purchase? Maybe it's time for Dell to just leave Apples to Apple, since we all know there's no comparison.
