This is apple... of course it does!
Apple is profit driven like any other business and will charge what the market with tolerate. Fools and their money, eh?
I dont think you need a bios re-fix for macs... so I would just sod Apple and get 2-3 of them from Scan for the same price-ish
Me want Ultrabook
I lost all interest in Macs once MS bothered to make a Windows that didn't suck: 7.
Seriously now, as a poster mentioned above, Mac Pro's aren't any longer the exclusive uber-workstations some consider them. A similarly specced "PC" running Windows 7 can now be just as capable and reliable (keep it off the net and that's practically a guarantee), and probably gets you more power for your money.

All OEMs do this to some extent.
Go check the Dell website, take the bottom "Preconfigured" option, then upgrade it to the same spec as the top "Preconfigured" option - usually it's more expensive - how does that work?
They also charge you ridiculous things like £70 for a Radeon 4350, or £100 for a GT220... in a Vostro... it's literally a 2 min job.

I think it's funny when people switch to a Mac and realize how limited they really are. Then they are forced to deal with it because they spent a pretty penny and can't take it back.
Oh yes. The above comes overclocked (IIRC) and is therefore at least faster, so to some people might be worth spending however much extra rather than overclock themselves. Whereas the only difference with the Apple 2TB drives compared to regular drives is they're coloured white and say "Apple" on them. Or something like that.
