See if you're going to even attempt to make out that Apple overcharges... please state current examples of another big vendor like Dell or HP which feature EXACTLY the same technical specifications.

I'm not an Apple fan boy. Just a modern day open-minded IT guy who makes sure he knows the facts before making sweeping ignorant statements.
