They are releasing their new Mac Pro workstations, though.
(By no means an I defending Apple. People just seam to forget about their computers)

Their computers are great, don't get me wrong. However, most people don't have money to throw like that on a computer, not to mention computer savvy individuals will most likely build a custom tower instead of a Mac due to the performance : price ratio.

True, true.
I'd personally never buy an Apple computer. Mostly because it is basically paying for a brand.
I'd much rather build my own, like you said.
