Admittedly, I am more than a little emotionally charged at the moment, so I may be more level-headed tomorrow, or after I take my computer to the Apple store.
But in saying that Apple did not make the hard drive, you are to some extent proving my point, not disproving it.
There used to be a huge difference between a Mac and a Windows-only PC. Now, the only differences are that Macs are more aesthetically pleasing and of course they have a superior, more ergonomically friendly OS. So can any of you give me a good reason as to why my Mac costs three times as much as my friends' [more or less] comparable HPs or Dells?
Before, Apple had a much smaller customer base, and they needed to charge more to survive, but Apple is doing great; stock is through the roof (which is good for shareholders). But what about the consumer?
I apologize for coming on strong at first. I was prepared to be defensive, because my dad warned me, but really, I am just looking for some sort of explanation.
