Almost both of them have the same specs right? They also share the same advantages on the AIO market. The only disadvantage of Dell is that it is using Windows as Operating System. The disadvantage of Mac on the other hand is it’s very expensive. But why is iMac so expensive? The secret behind Apple devices is there OS. Apples structure is so stable and it is built to last for years. The security and the how the Unix operating system works is superb. It’s worth the price if you will choose iMac.

Hope you will find this helpful.
