It's like saying that Volkswagen is cheaper than Audi because I can put in a turbo myself. Not everyone can or wants to tinker.

I dont think the labor cost would effect the over price any and is so small it could be considered irrelevant. Most computer shops that i go to will change your processor, mount it, and install the ram for free because it is such an easy task and takes less then 5 min to do. Most places ive seen charge usually around $50/hr for labour, and installing most of these parts takes no where near that time. I believe the store i frequent charges a flat rate, $60 to assemble a system for you. Even then most people have a friend or know someone who "knows" computer and will do it for free or a small fee.
I also like the new commertials, way better then the stupid "switch" adds i think mostly because i like Justin Long as an actor and think he's funny, not because i like apple(which i dont).
