listen. get the macbook if you can and run windows on it for the software you need. the mac exclusive software run better on the macs then windows exclusive software. you do not need to hog resources with an anti virus. every usb is safe, thats like thousands of reasons to get a mac.
go for the dell otherwise, but the build quality sucks, spend 2k extra to get the touch screen version, ensure you get a couple of add-ons, which should include a bag, a headset, and a shopping voucher, free one year subscription to anti virus, get a spare battery, its gonna get expensive later on.

@OP: First try a Mac with bootcamp from any of your friends before you buy. There is no turning back once you buy it.
You will not be shutting down windows, then go to boot camp, then change boot disk and boot into mac just to browse. You will just simply continue in Windows as you already will be having a browser. So what would be the point of getting a Mac? Yes there are good games for Mac, but are there any that you play?
Quoting yourself:
And a lone Macbook is not going to give you any fulfilment. If you have any other Apple devices (eg, an iPod), then your Apple experience will certainly be enhanced, but otherwise you may be pondering why did not go with a Windows option.

This is one of the dumbest thing i heard from an apple enthusiast against windows, no offense, this no virus theme is ridiculously lame to convince a user to buy apple products, there are lot many pros to one apple device ( which are indeed great ) which exclusively can be mentioned but this one.
I'm using windows 7 for more than 4 years and windows 8 for almost 7 months, NOT even a single instance of virus or Malware could led harm to my PC,
To be honest I kept on opening too many sites with harmful cookie warnings, ad-wares , used USB drives thousand times which every time returned with a f**ing hive of viruses and worms from other machines. Not even a single time the properly updated windows defender failed to protect from em. Never ever i have formatted the PC or recovered or repaired till date. and I do not have any antivirus installed in my laptop, never did and never will.
And seriously, if people can buy Macbooks worth of 68K, its not a mission to mars to have AVG installed in a windows laptop...for free

I stand as none to influence someone with a mere fact that having a free antivirus in a windows PC isn't too bad. Hope Apple devices are not too fragile to get hurt by this. Apologies if offended.
I'm not stopping anyone to buy anything, people can use their own money to buy whatever they want, i just pointed out that among thousand other great aspects of Mac, this was not nearly a sound one. I don't need biased opinions to make clear statements.

Y510p is only good for gaming.
The mac will be better for multitasking / designing and for people who want an extended battery life.

I am estimating another 3-5 months.
Yes you can, you can add any 2.5" drive.
If your laptop has a msata drive then it's even better, no need to replace.
