I really dont understand this price debate, why does people buy Apple products when there are products that cost less.
You are right, that there are less expensive computers then the Mac on the market. There are also more expensive computers on the market.
When I look for a computer, I usually have a purpose for that particular computer. For a development computer, I want the fastest computer on the market. My Mac Pro was cheaper then the Dell alternative.
If I wanted to buy a computer to connect to my Tv, I would want something similar to the Mac mini. The Dell alternative to the mini is actually more expensive then the Mac, even today.
Apple computers are designed to meet the requirements of a specific market, and if that marked doesn't include you, there might be a better choice in another brand.
And if your "non-Apple" super-computer is way more expensive then any Mac, it doesent mean that the Apple is a better choice just because it cost less.
Could anybody enlighten me a bit?
Are Macs More Expensive?
