That could easily be fixed by bringing the price back down into reality (i.e. 30-50% more expensive than equivalent x86-hardware, but not 300% more expensive).

Currently you'd have to be lobotomized to buy a MacPro at this price point. You can buy literally 2-3 "beige boxes" with similar specs for that money.
The shiny case and OSX make up for a lot, but there's a limit to what people will bear.
- brianpan 14y agoReally? iPhones alone brought in $22 billion in revenue last quarter. http://www.macworld.com/article/1166533/apple_nearly_doubles_its_profits_in_ipad_driven_quarter.html http://www.macworld.com/article/1166533/apple_nearly_doubles... The entirety of worldwide PC shipments for a quarter is less than 100 million units. So, no, cutting prices is not going to help catch up to iOS revenues. http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1981717 http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1981717
