Price is right for the most part. Well in as much that Apple does not have a very cheap entry level computer system. You can get a basic Windows laptop at Walmart for $228 VS having to goto an Apple retailer or Apple store for a Mac and pay $1000 for the cheapest Macbook. Now you do get way better system with the Apple when comparing an entry level Windows laptop vs an entry level Apple.
Really the lowest priced Apple would be more on the lines of a mid-grade or higher Windows PC and when you look at it that way there really isn't a huge a price difference.
Desktops are about the same as well. Looks like at Walmart you can get a "complete" system with a monitor for about $300.00. The cheapest Apple would the Mac Mini at 599.00 and you would still have to purchase a monitor. Again though you get better components at Apples entry level price than with the cheapest Windows PC.
