It's interesting that PC users still say that Macs are expensive considering how they used to cost and how much they cost now. And Apple didn't even include the software that includes in current Macs in the Macs of yesteryear! If you ask me, I think the tables have turned. PC manufacturers give you little to be excited about out of the box except for the included crapware and spyware (like what Dell has been doing for some time now....just ask their XPS customers...

). Apple definitely offers a lot out of the box at a very affordable price....you actually get what you pay for.
