I won't argue against the point that Macs are overpriced. But they are
nicely designed and put together with more than than your Dells, HPs, et
cetera, and the monitors on the iMacs are just plain superior. You're
also paying for the fact that Apple provides damned good tech support by
people who speak "Americanese," and you can get free help at the stores
and Apple is pretty liberal about taking care of products beyond the
warranty or apple care.

Service costs.

I've dealt with HP and Dell tech support in recent years. It's pretty
grim. You often end up with someone who learned English as a third
language and is reading off a script. No thanks.

Apple is about 10% of the market, if that.
Not many PC users need "tech support."
Most have friends or family who will help them with any issues, or they
just use the internet to get needed help.
I remeember talking to a manager during the early PC days.
His response to technical issues was a smug "Don't need to know that. I
have an Apple."
Nowadays my 87 year-old dad gets by with a Win PC with no problems.
Still doesn't know what a directory is, but pirates and converts movies
and music.
The only time you need tech support is a hardware failure.
And that's for somebody who doesn't build their own.
Apple is the "anti-PC" PC.
