Not necessarily, but they are constantly giving you LESS computer for MORE money.
Most base models are pathetically lean on specs, and then Apple wallops you on upgrade price to give you what they know you needed all along. Now with soldered RAM it becomes even more of an issue because you can't even upgrade.
So no it's not that Macs are so expensive, they just are NOT making them to fit the needs of the "common man". They are either not powerful enough or unnecessarily expensive overkill.
You can build a really nice Hack for under 1000 bucks, what would a similar Mac Pro cost?
