Wouldn't the obvious answer be that they charge a premium because they make abetter product? The market obviously supports that assumption. Apple hardware + OSX is just WORTH more than comparable (though less elegant) hardware running any other OS.

Troll aside, when you compare a Mac Pro (he did say "higher end") to the equivalent dell, the mac is CHEAPER.
The problem with Apple isn't that they are overpriced (when comparing the same specs), it's that they don't offer a low end/budget machine.
...Some say it isn't "as bad" anymore, but when comparing a modern higher-end dell with any number of corporate discounts, or even regular sales, the Dell undercuts the Apple in price by sizable amounts...
A Dell could cost $250 and I wouldn't buy it. I'd rather shave my b&lls with rusty knives.

But it's kind of like the pay difference between men and women.
Everyone would rather look at a room full of hot women engineers, but they pay men more.
Can you tell me why Dell is overcharging me when I want to play PC games?

Is this at all related to how George Lucas raped your childhood?

What? Obviously, you have no idea.
And ... this makes about as much sense as the rest of your post.
