Apple has margins that Dell would kill for. Which company has better financial results? Nothing stupid about that! Apple may never dabble properly in the low end. I think that would be the 'death of the canary in the coal mine,' when Apple is no longer a growth company and starts scrambling for "value."
Their prices are competitive on some of the high end goods, for example MacBook Airs. Most similar-spec PC's that are cheaper are not as well built. The more powerful Sonys (high-end Vaio) are much more expensive and not everyone will agree they have a similar build quality.
The tablet market is evolving but the last generation had a few contenders at the same or nearly the same price. Latest iPad reviews are quite favorable even if they didn't bump the essential speed of the device. Feels like only the next version of the Asus Transformer has a shot at taking some share from the iPad, aside from those who are dedicated to Android OS already.
