One thing people don't take into account when condsidering the price of a Mac is it's resale value. For example, Blue & White G3s, capable of running Mac Os X, still sell for around $700 on Ebay and sites that sell used computers. These computers are almost five years old. Wintel computers of the same age are worth next to nothing (most people simply throw them away).


That's because of intel and amd. They are the ones who push the prices down. How can you sell your old PC with the same prices of another PC which has better CPU, better other stuff. In PC world the prices in the last decades went down all the time.

This resale thing actually means that Apple is quite expensive.
