PC makers really don’t sell many of these el-cheapo crud boxes and they exist only to sucker the unwary buyer into a bait-and-switch scam. Most actually sold PCs (or Macs…) run around two grand (US currency, such as it is worth in the latest round of Republican devaluation schemes…) give or take a few cents.

Since Apple has never make anything in the crap end of the market (Well… maybe there was that Performa misadventure a few years back before the Second Coming of Jobs…), don’t expect themselves to get into a Dell style Bait-And-Switch routine. Few Mac users would be stupid enough to bite and PC Weenies would ignore it out of old engrained habits. It would be just a cheaper version of the cube. Pundits (with a habit of being perennially wrong…) would praise it to bolster public perceptions their worthless “predictive skills” and like the original Cube, would sell like ice cubes in Antarctica.

Do we really have to fall for another one of these silly bits designed only to increase web hits for the sites that post this stuff?
