If this type of statement were true (people will only pay the lowest price for "x" hardware), there would be people who:
A) Bought Acers
B) Bought Apples
Yeah, they have the highest gross margins of any company, but if PC manufacturers would make products that compete in terms of build quality, form factor, materials, looks, battery life etc. there would be a lot less Apple's being sold in general.
