I guess only Steve Job is qualified to answer this one. But let me hazard some intelligent guesses.\n\n1) Proprietary technology. There is no Apple-compatible machine from say, Taiwanese manufacturers which explained the lower prices of PCs.\n\n2) Smaller market arising from smaller demand which equates lesser clout in purchasing parts.\n\n3) Integrated software. Apple develops most of the software required by most people and then bundle them with the Mac. This will costs money, which you normally have to buy separately for a PC (case in point, iPhoto). Of course there are freewares for PC as well.\n\n4) Premium pricing to give the 'image' of a better quality and cooler product.

None of the above.\n\nWhat determines your value to a company is your ability to pick up new things, and get the job done using whatever technology is the most appropriate.

Go for an Apple.  They are slightly more pricey but they are well designed.

Ask your local Apple dealer. He or she should know the best bargains in your area and can contact the national office for info if you travel a lot.

That'd be nice, but I don't think Apple is even considering taking on Microsoft - not in a head-on competition. Apple's got it's niches and it seems like it's sticking to them. Apple will likely continue to be innovators and provide excellent products, though. \n\nOh, what a lovely thought - to have high-performing Apple products everywhere instead of buggy old Microsoft-based stuff...the grass really is always greener, isn't it?  :)

You can determine the book value by taking owners equity (assets less liabilities) and dividing by the number of outstanding shares.\n\nYou could attempt to determine some type of fair maket value by getting a multiple of price to earnings from a publicly traded company of a similar size and similar business and multiplying that times net income of the company your trying to value.  You would then need to discount that for lack marketabilty (maybe 15%). Then divide this result by the number of outstanding shares.  There are a lot of factors that go into valuation not discussed here but this gives you a VERY ROUGH GUESS.

Apple users want to be different, and they succeeded by isolating themselves from the world. Apple is closed, unlike windows is open source, that how people can see its security flaws. Apple does want you to buy macs but they are too closed minded in only wanting apple software to run on their computers, they used to be the biggest computer making company (only computer company) but windows beat them in basicly every aspect and captured 90% of the market in the world. Apple was always restriced to dedicated Mac users, thats why their computers dont sell well, on top of that their computer specs are pretty bad in comparsion to windows computers of LESSER cost.

Are you talking about an iPod? Apple is really expensive, but many of their products are of high-quality. In addition, their marketing strategies make their products highly appealing. Call tech support and see what they can do. Otherwise, choose some other brand.

When Apples first came out, IMB made computers for business and companies. Apple went for the home market, so any joe could have one.\n\nThus the motto
