Apple doesn't do the low-end.

This summarizes the elitist attitude that many apple owners have, that tends to raise the ire of the PC owners... You say "doesn't do low end", I say "pays a premium for a logo".

I don't really get your point. Some companies target the low end and there's nothing wrong with that. Some companies don't, and there's nothing wrong with that either. Does that mean that every clothing store that doesn't sell jeans for $5 is elitist? Every restaurant that doesn't have a $1 burger is elitist?

It's just the same in the PC world anyway. Alienware don't target the low end. Sony typically don't target the low-end. If you don't want to compromize on quality, what's the problem? Nobody is forcing anyone to buy their stuff.

Personally I'm sick of buying cheap crap that barely it makes it past the warrenty period. I'd rather pay more up front for something that will last longer and give me a better experience. But I can't say I've paid more with Apple (I don't own any of their computers, by the way).
