I know some of Apple's products are rediculously overpriced but some seems to be a bit more reasonable. I just thought the iPad was more along the line of a higher end netbook due to the price, but now i see it as equivalent to the low end netbooks.
I actually believe some people dont know that Apple's products are overpriced. Apple's created themselves this image that their products are all high-end (due to appearance and price), so some people feel when they want to get the good stuff they buy Apple. One of my friend just bought a Mac laptop for this reason eventho i've told her Apple overprice, but maybe if i show her this chart she'll finally be more convinced.
Generally, I think its very useful if consumers know how much of a profit or loss a product makes.
