Now, the PC's fanboys/girls will have the proof to blame Apple for its "high prices"!

Well, if it doesn't come with a Retina Display graphics card, just forget it!

I'm no math whiz, but AFAIK $374,500 isn't "nearly" twice $180,000- it's OVER twice $180,000.

"Apple also announced it's giving the machine a minor spec bump and releasing it as the 'New' Mac Pro..."

Hmmm, I have an original beige Mac Plus bought the summer of '86 and it works fine. It still plays ChipWits -- yup the disks still work. Wonder how long I'd have to hold on to it for it to be worth some coin?

Also have an original SE 30. What a workhorse was the 30 !

Wow! Samsung should copy the Apple I. Now that would be some Real money.

"Nearly" means close to or almost, i.e, plus or minus a bit from the exact figure.
