At least in the states, the cost of a branded machine -- esp. a Dell -- that's close enough to what you want (and there are a lot of options, even with those) is usually less. On top of that, the support infrastructure of a company like that can't be overlooked.

Dell service people have come to a hotel room of mine thousands of miles from my home to fix something. I've had two displays and two keyboards go on my PowerBook G4 (toddler damage) and Apple got the unit back to me -- via overnight shipping -- in three days every time.
