Well all other vendors are selling for much less profit. If margin is really an issue others would end up having windfall.

But all the other vendors suck. We're all having this conversation because we hold Apple to a higher standard. And more pragramatically speaking, because we're tied to OS X, which is really the only desktop OS that does not suck immensely on a laptop.

and THATS why we pay the 40% margin.

the choices are: buy a desktop OS that sucks immensely from from a vendor who sucks, or pay a mere 40% extra.

feels cheap to me.

Come on guys! If you want to buy Apple, then buy Apple. No need to crap on EVERYONE ELSE like this to justify your choices.

>But all the other vendors suck.

And you think the 40% margin has nothing to do with that?
