"so on means built quality?"
Why don't you provide some stats that Macbooks are "superior built" to other laptops.

There isn't, contrary to popular belief, any difference between the parts a Mac uses and any other PC - it's the same memory, HDDs, CPUs, video cards, and so on that any other PC uses.


"why do you compare an entry level cheap product.."
Because that's what Apple does - they take yesterday's entry-level products, slap it together in shiny white plastic, and charge twice as much as anyone else would for it.


"macs are smth elegant.. you should compare the prices of a Sony Vaio instead or smth in the same class (if it exists).."
Elegant is subjective - I think Macs look disgusting.

But, if you insist: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834117966 Sony Vaio laptop with same CPU, more memory (and probably faster memory, too), more HDD space and discrete graphics for 250$ less than the 1 000$ Macbook.


"and of course in 1 year try to sell the macbook and your Asus and let's compare the prices.. lol"
The Macbook would probably be worth more... by the fact that Apple has a monopoly over its market, so it's able to gouge prices for last week's technology. It would be representative of Apple's monopolist policies, and how much they overcharge for their products, and nothing to do with a product's quality.
