Dell Adamo vs. MacBook Air

Price

Unless you’re buying refurbished, you can get a new MacBook Air for either $1,799 or $2,499. The Adamo runs for either $1,999 or $2,699, an increase in $200 across the board. But look closely at specs and you’ll notice that both Adamo models include a 128GB SSD, an option that will boost the price of the cheapest MacBook Air by a whopping $500. So if you’re hell bent on getting an SSD, you’ll get away cheaper with the Adamo, but for most other configurations, the MacBook Air stacks up about $200 cheaper. And let’s not forget that the MacBook is packing better guts.

Winner: Apple MacBook Air
