Story: Is the Mac mini good value?
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 13 January 2005, 10:18 PM)
I just wanted to say that the price/value comparison is kind of moot when it comes to these products because of their beautiful design. Apple has already proven that with the iPod, which has many lower priced competitors now, but STILL dominates the portable MP3 player market. I think Apple has discovered the secret of luring new customers, which truly is about design/appearance now. One can really compare it to car shopping, where it has been shown that the styling of the car is at least as important as the performance/price for most car buyers. If we truly bought items based on their performance and price alone, the iPod would not be the most popular MP3 player in the world today.
