Well..I don't argue apple doesn't use quality parts, but as stated in another thread, asus makes their motherboards at least for the laptop line. And Apple doesn't use special memory, also off the shelf stuff, the hard drive is off the shelf. The screen is the same as in other higher quality laptops. In the end I think when you buy a mac the greater cost is for the fit and finish in the end product and you could argue for the fit and finish of the OS itself. I doubt the Oppo dvd player uses the same logic board as the Sony.
