Well, you are paying for OS:X, but mostly you're just paying inflated prices because Apple can get away with it, being the only vendor providing hardware for their OS. Equivalently spec'ed machines will cost 30-50% more to have the Apple name on them
I have yet to find a laptop in the same category as my MacBook that matches up hardware-wise and price-wise. The XPS I mentione earlier is the closest, and still doesn't quite get there. For higher end systems (MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, etc.) I can see your point, as I could easily build a Desktop that will perform with a Mac Pro for much less than the $3000 price tag they carry. But I haven't seen anything in the MacBook class that matches it and believe me, I have looked. -- Alex Esplin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
