You also have to look at the quality of the parts. I've said this numerous times but Apple uses top quality hardware. They don't use the shitty generic stuff.
People only see, "oh, well I have a 512MB video card" or "oh, well I have a dual 3.2 cpu". But they don't realize there are dozens and sometimes even hundreds of cards with the same "main specs" on the box, but there is a lot more to a video card than the memory it has, just as with a cpu there is alot more specs to it than just it's GHz.
People always say that Apples are so expensive, But they aren't. They're just comparing the $2,000 Apple model to the $400 Dell model. Dell has a $2,000 model as well - but no one seems to remember that.
