I disagree about the hardware aspect. Let's be honest here Apples are now x86 PC's with a Apple OS. Meaning simply any joe can build a computer with the same guts as an Apple. The OS is a different arena altogether, but I don't want to argue that.

Not quite true... the optical drives and primary hard drives are Apple certified and marked so on their labels. The Mother Board is also proprietary. Joe can get close to, but not exactly, the same parts.
