To be honest, I agree with some of the points in this artical, Apples hardware is rediculessly pricey. The only time that I have supported apple in a hardware fassion is buying an ipod but I can't say that I ever intend to purchase one of there computers from them - all the macs I have were either given to me or were bought from ebay. I just don't see why on earth I should have to shell out a stupid amount of money to buy a mac pro when I can build one my self for much cheaper and with my choice of case and components.
Having said this, I think there doing some ok things with software, so I've bought things like Ilife and Iwork and will buy logic at some point in the future.
