Let's take for example the Mac air, the $999.99 model. Do you really think that 1k is a fair price for that netbook? Or, in other words, can that price be lower, without affecting Apple's profitability, so more consumers and users can buy?
We have a free market. I think if someone can make the mac air and make a profit with a lower price, they will. And in fact that will happen. Intel is now pushing ultra thin laptop.

But because apple was first and they're apple, they get to charge a premium. Which is fair.
