Why is apple so overpriced?

Macs tend to be more expensive than PCs in the short term, but are really a great value. When using a PC, a new version of Windows usually means a new computer, but macs are very future-proof and can will continue to run for at least 5 years before becoming outdated. Macs also come with a one year limited warranty with 90 day phone support. This means, if you ever have any problems, help is only a phone call away. This warranty and phone can both be extended for 3 years for under $170. Macs also eliminate the need for a paid virus detecting software.
