I think Dells are fine for the average user out there that does not do really demanding stuff. The reason most here don't really like dells is most real Anandtechers are real computer nuts and want the best. For people like most of us Dell just does not cut it.
...
Dell's are fine for average people though who don't want to build their own and want a lot of support.
Forgot one other point, I really look down on Dell for not offering their users a choice of the AMD 64 in their home systems and the Opteron in their servers as they are such a powerfull option to Intel for less $$$. Let the customer have a choice.

Oh yeah, they also stand accused of using Windows Millenium Edition. They helped spread the evil that Microsoft unleashed in this pitiful excuse to shove the word "millenium" into a product name.

Dell builds a great computer at a great price (if you buy at the right time).

Lol, out come the personal attacks. Who needs to get out more again? People with tech knowledge or people who namecall over computers?

Read what Sudhian.com says about the sucky Dell model: Dell Sucks.
It's dead on with what Dell does with their lowball minimum requirements.

Sure, they're fine - until something stops working. Then you have to deal with all the proprietary components and bizarre hardware mountings.
It stinks though - Dell does seem to have some good deals on PC's. I just wish they'd use more standard parts, as well as fewer extra useless programs that load at startup.
Oh, and your estimate of half is probably optimistic.
And I do have hobbies. Right now, I'm working on modifying my 2.4V Dustbuster to use 4 NiMH cells, for 4.8V, which is what the motor is rated at. Actually, "need...a hobby" might not be right. "Need help" might be more accurate.

I stayed on-topic and backed up my assertion. There is a difference between debating something and attacking someone.

Perhaps if you didn't post 30X a day this wouldn't be such a touchy subject for you, pull yourself away from that keyboard and live life
