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!
