This costs the same as the cheapest Macbook.

lol@anyone trying to argue that Apple products aren't overpriced

 

Ok. We get it. You can build your computer for less, or buy a non-Apple laptop for much less than a comparable Apple laptop. If we are talking about this from a hardware perspective, this is the same thing Nintendo has done this gen with the Wii. They maintain a healthy profit margin on the Wii and accessories, not unlike Apple computers, Ipod, Iphone, etc. The Wii is overpriced if you compare it to something like the x360 from a strict hardware perspective (for example), but the software makes up for this. The same can be said for Apple computers because of OSx, iLife, etc.

Except... Apple generally is at a software disadvantage...
