Which are pretty good specks, an i managed to get mine for about £850.
I could have got a normal laptop which had even better specs for cheaper but its just the fact i like the apple set up so much more, like things dont go slow an freeze, everythings made so much simpler, the layouts generally alot nicer to use etc
That more what im paying for really, not the specs

You are obviously an idiot who has never used Windows properly
or tried an alternate open source environment.
ah but this is kind of the point.
i don't think that anyone claims you can't get equally good stuff for less money, if you're really into it. of course, if you wanted to do some research, learn how computers work, understand what an OS does and how to run bootcamp or parallels or whatever else, then buy a bunch of components, put them together, get everything working....
if, however, you're not an ubernerd, and just want something that does a job well, you can pay a bit extra. which is why i'm not really interested in bootcamp, parallels, hackintoshes and all the rest of it - i've spent half my life dicking around with PCs trying to get things working, and now i'm knocking on 30 i finally realised that it's not really worth spending a week getting something working just to save 50 quid. i could spend that week writing a tune.
likewise, if you want a bike to get to work on, it would be cheaper to buy all the individual components and build it. if you could really be arsed. or you could spend an extra 100 quid and get one from a shop....
