Weird
"All we've heard about Apple for the past decade is how overpriced their computers are. When Apple takes steps to make them cheaper, the outsourcing of compenents you mention above, they get slammed as well. Sometimes you just can't win."

So you are saying that they switched to cheap, low quality components, and yet their computers are STILL overpriced, overhyped and underperforming. Weird.
