hmmm 6970m is actually great graphics, but the price is ridiculous. I just got my new laptop 15" quad 2.2 and 6650m this thing is a beast! Play BC2,GTA4 with dlc and boderland on high, only $650... best investment ever

What's so bad about keeping it simple? You forgot about the people who would rather have something that looks nice and is relatively small/thin compared to some big box unit that takes up their entire desk. Maybe thats why they choose to buy apple products.

I suppose if you work in publishing or in professional audio work they make sense but to me Apple's stuff has always seemed a terrible cost/spec deal compared to a desktop PC

Horses for courses I guess.
