> $3000 laptops that are comparable to most $1200-1500 laptops, but are slightly prettier and less serviceable

So all those people who buy them are just stupid then, are they? What nonsense. This is little better than trolling.

Perhaps a better comparison would be the Apple Store's $400 price tag for 8GB RAM modules when you can get it for around $100 normally. I don't think the "customer service" is worth $300.

You said it, not me.

There are people who care very much about the visuals. They're not stupid for paying extra.
