IMO, cut down on the aesthetics and put it into hardware. Then I'd be a fan.
Oh, and be more compatible, without ||s, for gaming :>

It's hard to argue on the price point. The only way to do so would be to decide for yourself if you are getting real value for the price. You could compare the components (CPU, Operating speed, ram, hard disk space, etc) but to be fair you'd have to work also include support, stability, usefulness, etc.
I'm not sure but I think that if I compared an OEM PC to an iMac on price points alone, the PC would be cheaper, but the value on the iMac is better. So far its been easy to use, tech support is fast, and it "just works". Would I get the same enjoyment, productivity and support from a PC? I don't think I would.
Anyway, its pointless debating it. Try this: Buy yourself the cheapest mac, such as a Macbook. Try it out for a month and if you don't like it, sell it. Or buy yourself an iMac and return it within Apple's return policy date if you don't like it. It's really a nice, fast machine that to me anyway, is worth the price.
Happy computing.
