       Macs have the same cheap components as PCs made by Dell, 
HP and others. The main difference is the packaging that gives 
no performance boost over other PCs. But they maintain that 
illusion to a small percentage of people and that's a major 
reasons Macs have survived another reason is that Macs are now 
PCs that run Windows.
