Their profit level per unit produced is higher, thus they are more expensive.

I beg to differ. I bought my daughter a Macbook a couple of years as a high
school graduation present, mainly because that is what she asked for. I checked
out the specs, and the cheapest that I could buy it for was around $1100.00. I
found many other laptops with the same processor, RAM, hard disk and graphics
card for several hundred dollars less, and you could actually open those other
brands up and add more RAM if you wanted, or even replace a battery yourself if
the battery were to go bad, whereas with Apple, you had to purchase the RAM
upgrade from them and pay them extra to open it up and add the RAM, and if the
battery should ever go bad you have to either take it to an Apple store, if one
is close by, or ship it to them and be without it for several days, and pay them
extra to open it up and change the battery, rather than just buying a battery
and installing yourself. So yes, they are way more expensive.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

There's no doubt that Apple is more expensive. It just a
matter of going to the Internet and comparing features and
prices. As for quality of build, you've got to compare the
more expensive Apple products with business class Dells and
HPs. I'm posting this message from an Dell Optiplex GX270,
shipped in 2004. My other computer is a Dell Latitude D400,
shipped in 2003. Both are running the newest Linux kernel
3.2.x. All devices are completely supported. Try running
Windows 7 (or 8) or the newest OS X on equipment built eight
or nine years ago. I absolutely reject that Apple built
better products than business class HPs and Dells. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
