Cheaper Macs – Still Overpriced and Irrelevant

By Alex Wilhelm on April 30, 2009

AppleInsider is reporting that Apple is going to be releasing some cheaper Macs, maybe. How many people think that this really matters? Here is the only question you need to answer: will Apple release a full computer (screen, keyboard, etc) for an equivalent price to that of a PC? The answer is no, and this is why [from DailyTech]:

“Macs have gone from an average price of $1,432 and $1,574, for desktops and laptops respectively in June ‘06 to $1,543 and $1,515 respectively in June ‘08. While much lower to start, PCs are now even lower in average sale price. The average PC notebook went from $877 to $700.”
