one thing is not clear to me. Is there REALLY good reason why apple
computers are soooo expensive? hardware quality can't be the answer
because the same hardware configuration with Win on it is at least 30%
less, some times more then 50% less.
the cheapest macbook now 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 a one. but to pay $400 apple logo on compuer? c'mon...
I think with these prices Apple will never reach more then 10% of market
share. more often I think they play kind of "noble product" game. only
"special people" (rich?) can have it. lice cadillac or mercedes or
porsche...

Let's say it costs $100 to build a specific computer. If you sell the
computer for $110 you will net $10 and sell 1000 of them. Your net
profit is $10,000. If you sell it for $200 you will net $100 profit per
machine and sell 200 of them. Your net profit is $20,000. Which business
do you want to operate?

I got it. but, with $110 you have 1000 clients they pay for
upgrade/update/maintain, comparing to 200 clients if you sell $200 a
piece, right?<br>
and, if the market is 10,000, with 1000 you have 10% of market. with
200 you have 2%.<br>
<br>
and, why then HP, Lenovo, Ford, Nike are not doing the same? <br>
