> starting It's been like this since forever. I can't remember a point in time where price per performance was a selling point for apple products, barring seriously oldschool machines. They had the build quality + trendy side of the market shored up for a small time, but even then thinkpads were an easy match, albeit extremely untrendy. For the last long while, since the regoodification of dell and the general shift towards catching up with mac in build quality across the market, they've been a poor choice for anyone looking to maximize their value. I'm frankly shocked that someone finds this surprising these days.
