Well, personally I believe the higher prices are well worth the cost. Someone I know sums it up best: "Macs cost more only if you value your time at zero". But

But I agree with your call for specifics. For eg 4 GB DD3 Ram for Macs at Apple is $200 [1] vs at Amazon (random pick) is $78 [2]

- tptacek 17y agoYou're pricing RAM, not systems. If you're going to buy RAM for a Macbook or a PC, you're going to use the same sources and pay the same prices. Nobody who actually buys their own memory buys it from Apple. A Dell Inspiron with the same specs as the white Macbook (with an upgraded hard drive) costs $700 compared to $1100. That's a specific comparison purely on hardware.
