People want to compare Macs to AVERAGE PCs... but the Macs are not AVERAGE PCs. They are high-end PCs that, when compared spec-for-spec are often actually CHEAPER than matching PCs.
Apple has never claimed to want to market to the $400 PC people. It's not even the same market.

Sorry, I meant to add that Windows all-in-ones are notoriously more expensive then apples. Why? Because PC users don't buy them. They are difficult to upgrade, have a lot of proprietary parts, etc. To me, the defeats the purpose of a PC.
I can build an equivalent PC desktop (tower) with monitor (a beautiful 26" with TV tuner and speakers), PC speakers, keyboard mouse, webcam, (everything that mac you posted had) for $600 less. In the PC world, $600 can buy you a heck of a lot.
