Re: Just as I expected
said by GilbertMark  :I don't want the typical PC, which is piece of junk that will require replacement in a year or two, if it doesn't break down on its own before then. You get what you pay for. You want dirt cheap? Have fun with that "computer" of yours. I build my own state of the art systems for a fraction of what you pay for that Mac. Can you build your own Mac? |

Point is, many have no interest in building their own stuff which is why Dell, HP and Apple sell so many machines. They want to walk into the store, spend some money, and come home with a machine that works for them without a bunch of hassle. As popular as the BYO Pee Cee market is, it's nothing compared to the off the shelf or BTO market. A lot of people are willing occasionally pay extra (given that Macs compare favorably price-wise to similarly configured machines when you consider software and most importantly the form factor) to have a local point of support (the Apple store) and software that in a lot of people's opinion has superior interoperability, reliability and frankly is easier to use. |

Semantics. Build or assemble, the argument still holds true. |
