Last time I checked, a Dell equivalent to a middle of the pack Macbook cost $100 more. I don't know how the unique design and Apple brand some how added cost to the package in this situation.
Otherwise, you made my point for me with the rest of your post. Mac's feature high end components compared to the average $600-800 PC.
The only time I've seen a mark up on an Apple product is the Macbook Air -- that thing is ludicrously expensive.
