From the article: "Going with these upgrade options, the Mac Pro with an AppleCare service plan comes to $5,148, about half the cost of the most-expensive computer you can configure. This is unquestionably an expensive workstation, though considered in the context of competing products like those from HP or Dell, you'll see that similarly specced PC workstations are in the same ballpark (though these dual-socket workstations make true apples-to-Apple comparisons more difficult, and it's harder to quantify the value of real drive bays and PCI Express slots)."
Whenever I've looked at non-cheap machines, independent of OS (I'm often flexible between macos and linux), the difference between an apple machine and something from another major vendor, for as closely-comparable machines I can find, is often a fairly small percentage. And considering the unique features of the devices -- usually better (exterior) case design, MacOS, etc., it's pretty reasonable.
