Can I get a Mac for $399 US? No.
Would I want one if they made one? Hell no.
Does Apple have a product that competes in every product category? No.
Do they want to? No

I'm not really even anti-mac. I've considered them when I've bought pcs.
I stand by my statement that they are expensive though.
I wanted this computer for 2 purposes. 1) To edit my hdv videos, and author HD DVD. 2) To archive HD TV/Movies from my HD DVR.
for 1) I would have to spend $1300 on hardware, and I believe another $1300 on software to do this on a mac (iMovie can't author HD DVD).
Seeing as how I can do this fine on a $399 Compaq PC, the mac option is too expensive.
As for 2), Macs aren't even capable of doing this.
