In a comparison I did a couple of years ago, Macs were in between 2 to 5 times more expensive. That's pretty hefty. Especially since both a Hyundai and Mercedes will take you where you want to go just as efficiently. Oh no wait... The Hyundai has a lot more and better roads you can drive on where the Mercedes can't go.

The difference between Mac and PC quality wise isn't as big as you say anyway. I remember reading some years ago that Apple laptops came in 4th place quality wise behind Asus, Toshiba and Sony. And that was based on real computer failure/warranty figures.
