Sorry, should clarify. They don't use the older, cheaper intel  
processesors, they go for close to the top. They use a middle of the  
road video card, not a low-end one. They have (seemingly) higher end  
LCD panels. Most of this is based on things I have prices in the past.  
The point was the comparisons are about the same when you built a  
system that Is about the same.
