Yep the people that want to buy or own Ferrari don't test drive Fiats.
That's a common response, yet it presumes that there's an *objective* quality/performance advantage. Apple's marketing brilliance is that they've achieved a *subjective* quality advantage, as evidenced by your comment:
I believe there is just more value per dollar in my Apple products which is why I buy them when I know there are cheaper alternatives.
Let's not re-open the debate about the objective quality comparisons. We agree that Apple users generally *perceive* greater value despite often not trying the alternatives, so let's be happy that for once we've found common ground!
