Deconstructing the base Mac Pro: Why is it so expensive?

It is prejudice, pure and simple. You can get an equivalent machine from Dell for half the price. Trouble is that many people seem to think using Windows is like putting their hand in a toilet.

It is a strange thing. In terms of ordinary people, Windows rules supreme. But in a certain kind of company you only see macs. It is a good thing that my current laptop has a mini displayport cable because when I go to a startup accelerator they never have hdmi, full size displayport or anything other than Apple cables.
