Don't know it it still is the case but buying Macs used to be about the timing.
Apple updated their lines every 2-3 years.
If you buy immediately after an update Macs were cheaper than the competition but after 9-12 months the others come down enough to be level after that cheaper until Apples next update.
When I got a new intel Mac it cost £1800 and a Dell using the exact same components run to £2500. 2 1/2 years later the Mac was still £1800 but the Dell was substantially cheaper.
