Some more information regarding PsyStar and its Opencomputer have surfaced, that try to dispel some of the doubts surrounding the company. Last week, the company posted a video online that supposedly showed the inside of the company, as wel as a bunch of OpenComputers running Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows XP. In addition, a Gizmodo reader has sent a video to Gizmodo where he shows off his OpenComputer.

And buying a computer that doesn't have the feature you need is useless, no matter what the cost. Value is what actually matters. If your budget does not stretch beyond X, and Apple do not offer feature Y in price range X, then don't buy Apple hardware. But also, don't blame Apple for being "expensive". It's completely wrong terminology and reasoning.

Value is a different matter altogether, and cannot be quantified and generalised. Any statements that say "Macs are more expensive" or "Macs are cheaper" is completely ridiculous, as that depends on so many factors it is impossible to make any such statements. In my current financial situation, EVERY computer is expensive, be it Apple or Dell.
Whether something is expensive or not depends on so many factors, it cannot be generalised.

Kroc, that argument is so old and inherently flawed I'm amazed people still use it.
If computer A costs 300 EUR, and computer B 400 EUR, computer A is cheaper, whether it has more features or not. What you, and so many other Mac people, are referring to with this argument is value. 400 is more than 300, but if the customer thinks he's better off with the 400 machine, it's better value for him - but it's still not cheaper than the 300 EUR machine.
