I don't see why people think Apple Laptops are overpriced. There are laptops that cost way more than Apple computerS. Toshiba Quisimo(sp) is like $2,000. People see Apple computers expensive cause they clearly can't afford it, and rather go with the option that most cost effective for them, a inexpensive computer. Apple gives you a 100% products that actually has the software working with the hardware, reason why the OS X is really good. Windows 7 is great OS, but its still lacking compatibility issues with certain hardware, why you think you can't find the proper drivers for a printer or a simple usb its usually both the OS and the software thats implemented in the hardware. OS X already has drivers inside the OS, so you don't have to worry about finding the driver for yourself. I've own many hi-end computers both PC and Macintosh, certain software works better on one os and the other lacks it, this also applies to the hardware. PC computers do have better hardware performance such as graphics cards, processors and connections however that hardware is not fully used to its potential cause the OS can't keep up with it. Apple does use older hardware and reason behind is because they value longevity on the battery life. A mac battery can last up to 10 years with out worrying of keeping charge all the time, a PC battery usually last up a 1 year or 2 depending on the user, so that means you have shell out about $80 to $100 on new battery every year. The reason why PC computer becomes infected with a viruses cause its usually the PC user fault, use the proper precautions and stop downloading porn or keep using LW.
Apple rather put there advertising dollar on consumer products like Ipod touch, Iphone4 and Ipad because they can create a sense of "want" instead of "need". They practice opulence cause every year there some new technology they don't mind putting out and hold back on certain things that you might need, but you'll still get cause you can show off. It a practice that every company that sells computer products will do. HP is known for this, they have model practice in which they sell really cheap computers, that have cheap parts in the and before you know it your laptop is broken within 6 months or a year.
