If a product competes in a certain consumer space and happens to be toward the expensive end of the scale, it tends to indicate that it's either a "pro-sumer" or a luxury product. Industrial grade offerings tend to differ from luxury ones in their richness of features or lower cost of operation (high upfront cost, low overhead later). It would seem that most Mac laptops would fit into the luxury moniker more than industrial. It's not a bad thing in and of itself. It is what it is.

Just because you can find similar products for a lower price doesn't make it a 'Luxury' item. Your TV, I can find cheaper TVs. Your Car, I can find a cheaper car. Your camera, I can find a cheaper camera. Apple products have a given price range, and you can find cheaper similar items, but to say the 'cost' is higher than it needs to be by labeling it a luxury is totally objective. by that measure 90% of todays computers are 'luxury' items. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
