Yeah, docbungle has it right. People don't say Macs are more expensive than store-bought PCs (even though in most cases they are a bit more expensive), they say they're more expensive than custom PCs.

You can build your own PC, but not your own Mac. This results in PCs being far cheaper for the price and performance ratio. For $400 you can build a PC that would cost nearly a thousand from Macintosh and perform exactly the same.
