Are some Apple PCs priceworthy?
blubart:
that's really another argument - one of your arguments was that people by macs because they "b) want a high quality display".
considering they can get a considerably higher quality display if they buy a pc for a similar package price as the iMac (or a display of equal quality for a lower price) and only loose some (for the workflow completely irrelevant) space below their desk that specific argument simply does not hold.
if anything it fortifies the argument that people buy iMacs mainly for the style (compact all-in-one + neat looking is basically the same) and the OS.

most people couldnt actually tell you the good points of OSX or w/e. At this point a majority of the people who buy macs want them cuz of the aesthetics of it, or because they feel its cool to have.
The less popular response being that they have been using apple for years and enjoyed their computers for a while now.(a large portion of these people were graphics designers and what such back when powerpc chips loaded shit like adobe notably faster and ran better on an apple)
And specifically you posed the question of whether or not it was a good deal to buy the mac vs DIY and now complain its not a real comparison to DIY and buy a nicer monitor for the same price
kitamesume:
the reason why their products are so retardedly high priced(not including the monitor) is because they're buying "parts" on "third parties" and reselling them with 10-50% additional price header(duh, they wouldn't get any profit if they dont do it). if you're smart enough you could've just bought your own "parts" on the "third parties" where apple gets them.

I wrote those points as a whole package, not "or" but "and". You could just buy a Mac mini or even just the disc and build a hackintosh but that is not the point of this thread. Thread starter considered an iMac, I listed reasons to look at an iMac or "don't bother".
kitamesume:
hackintosh all the way lol, cheaper and better.
ohh yea, OP is MIA.
