Apple is OBVIOUSLY paying paying on hte low end. Perhaps as low as $20. 16 X $20 is $320. the dealers KEEP $200 minimum on hte deal. That makes the NO PROFEt TFrom Apple to (at least) $520. Add to this the actual cost of assembly, the new motherboard, other components ont he new motherboard and the software (Mac Draw and Mac Project) given to pre-September purchaser's of Mac and the price (though very high) is ablut right.
