In Response To: Re: Are Mac Users smarter? (Mark Levin)

: The claim that Mac users are smarter doesn't appear anywhere in
: the research report, just in this article.

: Plus, the cause is probably the other way around: Those who
: make more money are more willing to pay the premium for a Mac,
: and they got the more money by being better educated.

I would agree that it is inappropriate to jump to conclusions on causality based on this one article. There are many reasons that better education people seem to prefer Macs. But only a fool would think that price is the real issue here. If you compare prices feature for feature in a PC and in a Mac, you'll find that the PC is no bargain. I myself was surprised when I tried to price out a system at Dell.com (don't ask why) that would be comparable to an iMac. The Dell was more expensive! Sure, you could by a low-end PC with a Celeron processor and it may even seem pretty fast at games if you put a good 3D card in it, but just watch it choke on anything that really requires processing power - things that the iMac handles with ease. You get what you pay for, and Apple doesn't cater to the bargain basement crowd.
