Re: Any Apple Hardware is OBVIOUSLY Overpriced.
How is a Mac mini worth similar money? It appears that it is not.
you probably had to put that all together yourself and mess around with drivers as well as a fair old while updating Windows 7 to squash all those security holes and buffer overflow issues. With this you plug in what two cables and you are good to go? For some people they are willing to pay for the convenience. Plus despite them offering new updates for free for some people it is worth an extra 100 to 200 just to avoid having to run Windows...
The inability to upgrade the RAM on these things is shocking though they are trying to make everything sealed and more iPhone/ iPad like. Not a good move in my opinion, but Apple won't be fussed if one or two don't buy it as a result of their move. It is hardly a major revenue stream for Apple and that will be the way they are looking at it, but if they start to annoy their loyal Mac customers they may find that they aren't there when they need them next when their iRange dries up.
