"When one takes the seamless integration, stability, ease of use, quality engineering, the TCO, and the ability to boot Windows, one can easily conclude that a Mac is not necessarily a more expensive proposition. The argument that Mac's are too expensive no longer applies. Although you can spend between $600 and several thousand for a Mac, stay within your means and purchase a system that meets your computing demands."

This is getting boring...
We've heard it all a million times, OS X is priceless 'with unique application like iTunes which the limits of bloat...er...user comfort' so its okay for Apple to set crazy prices.
The comparison with Mercedes is incorrect. While, a large portion of the price of a Mercedes is for the brand name, with a Mercedes you actually get technical benefits as well. That's not true with a Mac. Anything that can be done on a Mac can be done cheaper, faster and better on an alternative setup. This goes for both laptops and desktops.
I have nothing against Apple in principle, I think it's great how their marketing team works. These guys are pros. But I do hate when people say that Mac is a better deal that alternatives. It's not.
P.S. Feel free to show a Mac product that can't be beaten in terms of price and performance at the same time. I wish the OSnews crew wouldn't shove their worshipping of Apple down our throats and would focus on checking their email. I wonder why they extended their alternative OS deadline, when they dont even have time to check their mail?
