If Lady Shopright has only $1K to buy a computer with, and economy is
her SOLE AND MAJOR consideration, she can get a refurb Mac laptop for
less--probably a 17" to boot. When making a purchasing decision,
there is always a balancing of factors. If Lady Shopright insists on
17", laptop instead of desktop, absolutely the latest model, all the
bells and whistles, no compromises here, then she has probably priced
herself out of the Mac market.
The unrealistic--and ultimately deceptive--element in this little
skit is that she ever SERIOUSLY considered a Mac in the first place.

Constance, if she only has $1,000, she only has $1,000. No amount
of "Mac is
better" fattens her wallet. McFans' protest notwithstanding, there is
nothing unrealistic about this. Not everyone who needs a computer
can afford
McPrices. The cheapest 17" Apple portable isn't just out of her
price range,
it's *far* out of her price range.
What is fundamentally unrealistic is McFans' apparent belief that
it is
foolish to limit what you buy on the basis of how much money you have.
