That's a nice argument. The only thing that really even comes close to being able to answer it is...


reality.

Look at Apple's sales charts. Put a a little thumbtack in the announcement date for Intel products, and see if there's any support for your argument (there isn't).

I purchased 5 macs in the past year alone, and the main motivation for my purchases?

The Intel switch.

We don't heard about Apple's market sharing rising to above 10% BEFORE the Intel switch don't we. Think about it.

Sony makes the highest priced laptops these days, not Apple. Some people clearly are unaware of the market since they say Apple is the highest priced. After Sony comes Fujitsu and Lenovo, with Apple behind them. Most others don't come close to the quality of these 4 companies. Quality costs more. Dell does have decent quality, but they are very generic in build (you can read that: ugly), and heavy. You also pay for less weight in a laptop.

So like I said early on, pick what is important to you and buy accordingly. If you want good looks and light, Sony and Apple are the only available models. If you want high quality, please avoid Toshiba and Gateway, really. If cheap is the most important thing, Dell all the way.
