Another example from the apple web site. A mac book with this spec:
15-inch: 2.0 GHz
2.0GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz
500GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5
Built-in battery (7 hours)2
costs GBP1549.
An identically spec'd machine from the Dell web site is GBP799. In
fact the Dell has a 50% bigger hard drive, but essentially they are
identical machines in slightly different boxes. You pay an additional
GBP750 to have the apple logo on the front of the box. It is amazing
how many people are prepared to pay that and IMNSHO that is down to
one man, and Apple inc. no longer have him.
