Nope. If you compare a similarly spec'ed Mac with
a Dell PC, the Mac is quite a bit more expensive.

For instance, you get a Dell Studio laptop with same/better specs
for about half the price of the MacBook Pro.

No. Apple uses the exact same motherboard and CPU makers
as the rest of the PC OEMs. It's a myth that Apple's stuff is
higher quality.
