Apple has achieved their place in the market by differentiating the Mac from the PC -- and controlling the avialability and the cost. Whether the product is better or worse than a commodity PC does not matter -- some people will pay the price and buy the product just because it is different. How they justify this in their own minds is irrelevant!

IT'S MARKETING!! It's also smart marketing. Better to sell one Mac to make $100 than 3 PC's!
