One thing is not clear to me. Is there REALLY good readon why apple
computers are so expensive? quality i hardware can't be the answer
because the same hardware configuration with Win is at least 30% less,
some times more then 50%.<br>
<br>
them cheapest macbook is $999. I bought toshiba laptop few months ago
for $550 with, I think, superior hardware. if macbook was $600 or $650
I would buy the one. but to pay $400 apple logo on compuer? c'mon...<br>
<br>
I think with these prices apple will never reach more then 10% of
market share. more often I think they play "noble product" game. only
"special people" (rich?) can have it. lice cadillac or mercedes or
porsche... <br>

This is a popular mis-conception. Apple is totally Microsoft, just with
a shiny outer shell. They're absolutely bent on market domination using
any method possible.<br>
<br>
I'm in danger of another rant here so I'll just leave it at that.<br>
