Macs are overpriced and we aren't just talking about overpriced as compared to building it yourself. They charge a lot in parts. All places that have pre-built or custom built computers charge for the package with them building it, Apple seems to charge a bigger premium for that and a crazy amount for parts especially upgrades. Why? Because they can and people will buy it. They do an amazing job in build quality, and they have a nice exclusive Apple logo that they sued a lot of people to have the rights to.

Also, Alienware is expensive, but you get more for your buck (the last time I looked at least) then you would with an Apple product, which is why people go there when they have the money to spend on a premium gaming rig.

That being said I have nothing against them besides there inability to stop suing everyone just because they hate competition. They make good products and can be used for a wide variety of applications.

7k computer and you could develop your own game.

Macs ARE overpriced. Lord knows how this guy found a way to drop 7k for FFXIV... I ran it on full settings in 1.0 with a 1k custom build. With all the AA and max shadows I'd guestimate NO MORE than 2k for a desktop absolute tops.

Overpriced is a relative term .... if you don't have the money, then even a loaf of bread could be called overpriced.

You're confusing "unaffordable" with "overpriced". You can look at the market value of something, then look at a specific brand/retail price to determine if something is overpriced, regardless of who intends to purchase it.

A $3 loaf of bread is unaffordable for someone with $1.
A $6 loaf of the same bread, but with a different sticker on it, is overpriced for everyone.
