“Peter Bright wrote a good piece earlier this week at Ars Technica, documenting his attempt to buy a MacBook Air-like Windows laptop (he doesn’t want an Air running Windows using Boot Camp because he doesn’t like Apple’s U.K. keyboard) and finds the experience confusing (too many models to choose from) and expensive (comparatively-equipped machines from Dell, HP, and Lenovo cost considerably more than an equivalent MacBook Air).”
Daring Fireball: The New Apple Advantage
Nothing has changed in 7+ years since I first purchased my iBook 12” G4. It was ~$AU1200 cheaper than a comparable small (<13”) monitor lightweight laptop.

My real problem with Apple is that this doesn’t translate into their higher end products, e.g. you can buy a $4k PC that will slay, at least on specs, a $10k Mac Pro and there’s no real explanation for why this is when they can produce an air that can sell for a lot less than anything close on the PC front.
