Khyber, I agree with you, but calm down a bit.
Apple are smart because of that, it is costing them less to produce their computer, but that doesn't mean they won't charge high prices for their computers.
"I find it hard to imagine you can come up with twice as many features on your HP when compared to a similar Mac."
I always look at PC to have more features than Mac because they are so much more third party hardwares developed for it at a lower cost, and you can buy them from the money saved from not buying a Mac.
Personally I don't few much affected from this news since I don't use a Mac. But if these Mac computers becomes available definitely recommend them to family and relative because OSX would serve their purpose and I don't have to fix their computer so often.
