True enough, they're still pricy... but good lord these computers are practically indestructible. I know I've had mine for almost 3 years, and I got it from a friend who had had it for about a year.. it's been to Iraq and back, had the shit beaten out of it, have several gigs worth of photography and video work, and still runs like a champ. Even the ones they allow students to sign out at school always work well, and I doubt that they are re-imaged more than once a quarter. I'm not one to say Mac is better than Windows, it's all personal preference and I use both, but it just seems like the Macs are more solid, stable and last longer... so it seems to me you get your money's worth.
