Now, I don't find it really to be there. Apple just doesn't have a low end machine. When I've compared the specs on a Mac Pro, and a Dell with the same specs, they were within $50 of each other. Now, most people don't need all that extra oomph, and so are ok going with Intel integrated graphics, and things of that nature. For those people, Macs are too expensive, but so are a Dell, or HP, or <Insert brand here> of the same class.
