Apple has unfairly gotten this rep that their machines are expensive when in fact equivalent windows systems are in fact more expensive. I realized this when I was searching for a display and naturally thought that I can find a display comparable to the Apple one from some other manufacturers at a much steeper discount. But found that most do not make equivalent displays or when they do (Dell) its priced higher than Apple's. I have found the same thing when it comes to Mac Mini's as well. For the form factor there is nothing on the market that is even comparable. Things might have changed now (I hope) have not checked.
