>oh my, once you discover the concept of TCO your mind will be blown.

Haha I love when users attempt to act condescending, but actually demonstrate their own reading comprehension failure.

TCO --- you mean TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP, a concept I discussed at length in the post you're replying to?

Wow, imagine that. I'd love to discover a topic for the first time that I already discussed at length with over 4 different total cost comparisons, including repairs and upgrades.

EDIT: IF we want to do TCO, mind you, I notice pro-apple folks don't include the $100-$200 of mandatory spider-web adapters you have to buy, as well. TCO is complicated and it's easy for Apple fans to hide the significantly overpriced Apple accessory costs from it :)
