Apple sells to people who want higher quality and for whom the lack of some of the niches Windows serves better is not important (and some of those are big). -- * Mint MATE: Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint / LibreOffice: <http://youtu.be/USU9iqppfto> * Win 8 / Word 2013: <http://youtu.be/z8gUL2TCcV4> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk>

No. To maximise profits a business usually has a minimum selling price knowing it will lose all customers that can't afford that. -- :-<> Siri Seal of Disavowal #000-001. Disavowed. Denied. Deleted.

One can get a far better computer for the $600 minimum Apple charges for the Mac Mini, or the $1,000 minimum they charge for a laptop. Apple doesn't lose customers simply because people can't afford their products. They lose customers because Apple products are a poor value for the price.

If the price dropped $200, they'd sell more. If the fixed O-Mess X so that it didn't act so retarded, they'd probably get a few more. But the price alone chases a lot of people away from even trying it. It's not that it's too expensive to buy. There's a Mak laptop in the house that the ol' lady paid $2500 for.

Sure: make it cheaper and more people would get it. Of course. That is true of pretty much anything.... well, except for desktop Linux which is easy to get for *free* and yet is at less than 2% usage. > It's not that it's too expensive to buy.

While I won't get into the argument about whether that is good for the consumer, from the company perspective they really believe, and I do too, that they will make more profits structuring their prices where they are at.

I did not want to spend the price to get a new mini, nor did I need it - so I got a used one. Cheaper and serves my needs fine. My iMac is a new one - I have a need for it - but my wife has an older one, her needs are less. And my phone is an old, cheap flip-phone I pay very little for.
