You guys can argue with some justification that Macs are easy to use and are certainly more reliable than Windows 95, a 7 year old OS that certainly needed improvement.
But when you get into price, you are lost. The might 256 MB of SDRAM has a retail value of $40, less if you shop. It's also obsolete. PCs are running DDR and RAMBUS memory, which is 3 to 4 times a fast.
I will give Apple full credit for pushing technology -- USB, Firewire, LCD monitors as standard. But they can do this only at a premium price.
