They are hardly comparable systems. One is a Dell with 4 GBs of memory and a 500 GB harddrive and the other is a 16 GB Mac with flash storage. Macs start at a higher point because they generally come better equipped. If you tried to compare comparable systems the Mac would cost more but not by the ratio you have suggested.
