because you're paying for the name of the company too...
As more famous the company is,as more expensive it will be.

Just for company namenah it must be something other...I don`t know but If I need to pay just for company name then Asus and other can make it expensive more then apple...something other must be...But still don`t know why..

Nope. It is just the Company name. Same thing with cars, or any other buyable thing. Even with Ice Cream.

Hahaha.Really funny [P4].I really want to know why they are very expensive.Unique Design?Mac?iOS?What is making them expensive?

If you mean the difference between the Mac Pros, one has a retina screen and the rest don't. If you mean in general, it's because they can extort this kind of money from people for their products and get away with it.

Exactly. And it's nothing unusual. EVERY brand/company uses it's name to make profit:
T-Shirt: 5$
Same T-Shirt with 'Puma' printed on it: 50$

I don't think it's that bad, they can charge as much as they want as long as people pay for it, same with iPhones, Blackberrys, everything these days.

But In my country for monitor 200 $ or 50$ for mouse is toooo tooo much...I pay for my monitor 200$ but in real website price is 300$.For me iPhones are shits.Maybe for someone no but for me it`s giving much money for nothing!...That`s my opinion.But really 700$ giving for components is too much for that money I can get full new computer with all components which I will need....
