Only when artificially skewed in the Mac's favor.

How is it artificially skewed in the Mac's favor? I ask for in formation only.

The most glaring example of that is the insistence of using the Mac as the baseline instead of the user's wants and/or needs. The other way is to try and inflate the costs of PCs by insisting on adding some phantom assembly fee that you're supposed to charge yourself for building your own PC. That's like insisting that you charge yourself what a restaurant would every time you cook your meal.
