This type of money for a Quad-Core system with 3GB of RAM?

You can make a Corei7 system with 8GB of RAM, have a sick graphics card and more and come out about 500 less.

I just don't understand why people purchase these things other than the fact that they are 'hip'.

I don't like Apple computers, and I'm not defending their price, but I will say that pricing out comparable PC hardware and throwing Windows on it doesn't make it the same as the Apple. It's like apples to unnecessarily gold plated oranges, but nevertheless oranges.
