Yeah.. Mercedes, BMW and Bentley have a much smaller market share as well.

Most people can afford to pay $400 for an Emachine, Compaq Toshiba or a $800 HP and or a 1300 Sony, max 2000 for a Sony. A smaller percentage of people can afford or want to afford the Mac pricing. Most people don't give a shit about computers and just want it to work at the most affordable price, I think that is the majority, same goes for most car owners.

Apple doesn't strip their machines down, you want quality you have to pay for quality and considering what all they give you it's still one hell of a deal. If Sony were giving you what Mac does, Sony would charge triple the price of a Mac.

I just recently switched to Mac after I was seeking out a good, quality 17" laptop, only thing I was willing to buy was Sony, which I have 3 Sony computers, it was 2k and looked rather boring and plain. I wanted something different and new, and the 17" MacBook Pro looked great and would be something new and different. So I bought one back in July. I love it and I don't plan on ever buying another pc again. Remind you I am not pc dumb, I was in IT for 15 years.

I just like how mac does everything better, only way to understand this is to either believe other mac users or buy one yourself and see... It's the only sticker I have ever put on my car, so that should say something..
