+1. The whole point of a company is to make profit![]()
1. Companies are run by people. The goal of those people is quite often not making the biggest possible profit for the company.
2. In the computer business, and in many other businesses, it has been shown that making decisions solely looking at profit will damage the business in the long term. If you set the company goal "we want to make as much profit as possible" and act on it, it will end in tears. Since the first iMac, Apple has consistently worked to give customers the best possible products, built and sold with decent profit. And trying to achieve this goal, not the search for profit, has made Apple the most profitable company in the world, with their last quarter being the most profitable ever.
if you think that a macs build quality is superior, then you need your head examined, its made from the same parts, sourced at the same locations as everyone else
Try the 15" Retina MacBook Pro. Just try it. Then go back to whatever laptop you are using that is made from the same parts, sourced at the same locations, and whenever you use it, you feel the pain in your heart.
