Why are Macs so expensive (Not trying to start a PC vs Mac)

[Code King]

Its called bulk buying.

You also said that text editors aren't 30$ each, and I proved you wrong, now do everyone a favor and please remove yourself from the internet.

I actually said APPS not text editors were roughly $30.

no douche i said the apps were roughly 30 bucks not the text editors, i dont have a mac laptop so fail.

You don't make sense.

You were saying apps are 30$ each, not text editors, suggesting that text editors cost less than 30$.

Your beloved textmate costs 30$.

Conclusion?

you know you can use Mac OS X on a pc. You get the good cheap/free programs of a pc and the cool looks of Mac OS X. Best Of Both Worlds!

no that logic fails.

1. the license is $50 per user, buy buying 30 licenses you are offered a discount, you still pay $750 not $30.
2. No i was generalising apps by saying they were around $30, thats on average, thats not saying every app must be equal to or less than $30.

30 seats = 900$

30x30 = 900

That means 1/30 licenses is 30$, ok?

If you say it's 50$ per user then fine, it can be 50$. 50$ is really expensive for a text editor. Macs are really expensive for what they are. You ran out of arguments (not that you had any to begin with)
You are obviously looking for a last post to prove your supremacy, and fine, you can have your last post. This topic is going nowhere since you haven't done anything but call me a douche, claim that macs are super awesome and better than everything there is on the market because they are made by apple, and that textmate is an expensive version of gedit.
I won't post anymore, so please make another retarded statement about how this or that fails so we can end this argument, and so you can claim this topic with your awesome debating skills.

How can you not comprehend the simple defintion of economics of scale, when you buy more the overall price is cheaper but the individual cost is still the same as a single license.

Um... That makes no sense. I think you got mixed up.
