I have opened up hundreds of machines both apple and other manufactures

They all use the same components

Again, you are the liar here. I have proved it over and over again.

you live in make believe world, you just don’t want to admit that you are paying for a cute logo on a pretty box, because that is all you are paying for

The hard ware is no different. The cpus are the same, the hard drives are the same, the memory is the same, etc. Nothing inside an Apple is any different then low end Dells.

Do you really think Apple is putting Enterprise class hard drives that cost $900 each into a iMac that they sell for $1799 and still make crazy margins? I doubt it. They make crazy margins because they are taking that same hard drive that goes in the bargain Dell, slapping it in that iMac and charging you a premium for it.

Did you know most common parts in washer machines are the same across brands, models, low end and high end? The motors are the same, the transmissions are the same, relays, pumps, etc same stuff, the difference is the color and the controls. That $2000 Washer is the same stuff inside as the bargain $399 washer. You are paying for the looks, stainless steel, the fancier controls, lcd touch screen vs. knobs and buttons, and the name plate.

I am just educating you here. And hopefully others as well.

And you are but a novice. I have opened up thousands of machines of all kinds. I have worked on computers since the 1960s. I have worked for decades as an I.T. engineer building computer systems, from mainframes to micro machines. You have proved nothing other than spewing spurious claims that are meaningless. I have worked for people like you, who scream and holler but have no experience, and I set them straight. And quit throwing B.S. dollar figures that you're pulling out of your rear, like $900 hard drives going into iMacs. It is unseemly.
