So when Asus (whatever company) copies the special welding process ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/20/imac_welding_british_company/ ) they used to make the new iMacs and sells their version for $200 cheaper, all the negative commenters above will praise them.
What should be happening is Asus (name the company) one ups Apple in design and components for a better price - Then these comments will be valid.
When a company innovates it pushes the engineering envelope to achieve something unique.
People will still pay a premium for a Porsche when a Mustang will come near 95% of it's performance envelope and costs 1/2 the price... Both cars get you from point A to B but the technology and innovation that makes a Porsche's value intagible to those of you who only look at numbers and compare iCoreX to iCoreX.
Apple's making $$$ because people are willing to pay for something that is intangibly right, not because people are idiots. Calling customers idiots is the number one way to lose them.
now go back to flaming my post
