Dell vs Apple

Hello people!

My parents are needing to buy a laptop (pronto) and are deciding between either a Dell or an Apple.

The ones they have been recommended are (I believe)

Dell 1320 (or 1325... unsure) XPS

and

Apple Book

Price range they're looking for is £0 (

) - £800

They are used to windows and have many MANY microsoft documents which they are concerned will not open on a Mac (I am certain they would be compatible though no?)

They would use it for emails, typing letters, research (so tinterweb) and photos.

What are your thoughts? Any suggestions on other models/makes and any idea where we can get hold of one soon and cheaply! (Also note Picky is a teacher so we may have some discount action there!)

Cheers people!
