Not a very wise thing to say on a web forum. Someone bring the fire extinguisher!
If you look close enough, the specs for apple computers are good for the price. Considering the warranty you get, the non-existance of any incompatibility with your hardware, the quality of the parts (even the Mac Mini on-board audio, for example, is way better than the standard one in a PC), the software (which is one of the main advantages) and all the connectivity between equipment, it's really a fair price. PC Laptops with the same specs as a MacBook usually cost 30% to 50% more. And you get a good looking machine as a bonus. :]
