Will the Mac price cuts change anyone’s opinion of the basic value of Macs? Apple didn’t introduce a “cheap Mac,” but it did upgrade the specs on most of the current line, and slashed prices by hundreds of dollars. My guess: Even though Mac pricing is not unreasonable compared  to Windows PCs with comparable stuff inside, you won’t see Microsoft declare a truce and stop snarking at Macs and Mac users in Windows ads.

Jaguar and Porsche don't care that Ford and Toyota outsell them, because that's not their market. They make hi-end cars that are sexy and drive very fast. Apple makes products that are sexy and crazily intuitive. Apple's market and the price of their shares are what's important to them, and on those fronts, everything is gravy. These ads are meaningless. They’re more expensive for a reason.
