That's funny, I did my comparison w/ the MB/MBP and the Mac Pro vs. PC offerings. I guess I shouldn't have overlooked the "low-end", especially the mini.

Well, fair enough.

: After looking around a bit, I honestly can't FULLY agree. While Apple's
: offerings at any given price point are competitive with similarly priced
: products from other vendors, I don't believe you can correctly say that
: they are cheaper on a feature-for-feature basis... I checked out the Mac
: Minis and iMacs and shopped around at a few of the big-box PC vendors'
: websites. Generally, what I saw was that you tend to get a little more
: bang for the buck on the CPU front if you stick with a Mac, but you lose
: out on RAM and HD space, and in the case of the Mac Mini, I was able to
: find packages that boasted a bigger hard drive, comparable optical drive,
: and the same amount of RAM which also included display, keyboard and mouse
: for slightly cheaper than the cheapest Mac Mini. The only category that
: the Mini won significantly in was CPU speed....

: Don't get me wrong, I love my mini and the few extra bucks for the keyboard
: and mouse are no big deal, but even a cheap-shit display on top of the
: $599 price tag knocks you up to the next price bracket, really. Having
: said that, I believe Apple has gotten a LOT more reasonable in their
: pricing, and I think pretty much any given mac is worth every penny paid
: for it; however, a company that wants to believe that everything it makes
: is designed to a higher standard ought to pay attention to details like
: this one....
