"I bet this has more to do with recent complaints by business purchasers that they can't buy a Core Dou Laptop from Dell, but can buy from Apple. Of course this is completely ignoring the fact that Both Dell and Apple are estimating ship dates in Feb. and that Apple has just marketed it more."
Well, and that the simple reason that the unique Core Duo notebook from Dell is a 17" that weights a lot, a machine that no one could consider a truly notebook, it even weights more than the PowerBook 17"...
The desktop replacement market isn't big in bussinnes..
But there is no company today that could introduce a full range of notebooks of various sizes using Yonah, because simply there aren't enough chips produced..
For now, Apple is the first and unique company that is shipping Yonah based machines (iMac)...

Dell's Printers are Lexmark. Dell doesn't deal with quality just quantity.
