I can point to the fact that ASPs for desktops and laptops, in today's dollars, have plummeted over time.
When you're pointing it is at anything other than Macs. Do a search and you'll find the articles from just a few days ago on the remarkably stable $1,300 ASP for Macs.

there's a niche market for high-performance computers that are in the four figures, but the masses spend hundreds, not thousands, of dollars when they purchase.
If it is a niche, it is a growing one. Apple desktops and laptops have been taking share consistently for years.

Even if you look at Apple iPads, their ASP has fallen ~$250 in a few years.
The iPad had a 460ish ASP in recent quarters. For your statement to be true, Apple would have had a $710ish ASP a "few years" ago. I don't think you are right.
