Actually, there's a bit of misconception here. Yes, you can find machines
with marginal configurations that may have the same processor as a Macbook
Pro that appear to be very much cheaper.

But they have less or slower memory, less capable/slower support chipsets,
slower/smaller hard drives, less capable video cards, "home" versions
of Windows (if you go that route), etc. By the time you configure an
Intel-based machine to meet the same performance specs as an equivalent
Apple machine, the difference shrinks to a couple of hundred dollars
or less. THAT is the legitimate "Apple Tax", not the hundreds or
thousands people claim.
