See, the funny thing is that I'm just not that price sensitive, and that's the case with a lot of customers. People can feel quality, and appreciate when they see it. But the PC manufacturers are running like coked-up lemmings in their race to the bottom. That behavior's really helped Apple succeed. Many people spend over half their average workday on a machine, and even medium-sized changes in the machine is going to have a large, substantive difference. But, then again, I think some of this psychology directly stems from Windows. MS has traditionally had this feature-checkmark mentality that pushes for more checkmarks & features over substantive quality; and you can see exactly the same thing with most Windows PCs. Now, the consumer's left a complete-shit algebra to reason about which computer is best for them. Ugh, ok, I'm cutting the rant off here.
