Macs are known as gorgeous pieces of hardware and that seems to be their main functionality. As Neal Stephenson stated, they are polished and nice to look at, hence why the prices are jacked up but that is all that they have going for them. Nowadays, most things that are exuberantly expensive must be worth something and are therefore sought out and it becomes a trend. If your best friend has a $3000 Mac monitor, why shouldn't you have one? In my opinion, Dells are pretty sturdy machines though a bit hefty. I would like to get my hands on an HP computer though. That is a beaut.
