Check the internal components of any mac and you'll see why it is around 4-5k expensive than a similar PC config.
4-5K? I am talking about 23K here. They are gold plating the internal components or what?

IBm(Lenovo) portables on the PC side are expensive, as well. The reason? They use high quality parts.
Yes they ask Intel to make high quality CPUs for them...Seagate to produce different drives for them and mobo manufacturers to provide them with custom built rocket speed mobos. I am getting the whole picture now

Now for some Accounts lessons. A company has to spend on advertising, customer care, offices. They have a huge employee base. They have to maintain an acceptable margin to keep the shareholders happy. The chain goes like Manufacturer->Company->You
Thanks for the accounts lesson oh great sir. So I should give them my money in order to make them show me advertisements and keep their shareholders happy? Sorry but my close up does not look like this
