Apple Store Associate chat ideas

[SeventhSandwich]

Going to be asking an apple store associate via live webcamnevermind it's only text questions.

Mainly pertaining to Apple's ridiculous retail markup.

Anyone have any ideas of things to ask?

Why the hell their computers are so expensive?
I really don't see a good reason why so hearing their excuse would be nice.

If he thinks it's right that apple overprices their products that don't do anything revolutionary and then continue to re-hash them each year so that they get a steady income by out-dating everyone who can't shell out 1000 on an ipad 3?

ask him about that.

Oh god I do hate when a new REVOLUSHINARY thing from apple comes out then you have it for awhile then they release a new on in like a few months after you just bought the thing and this one has 1 HOUR MORE OF BATARY LIGHFE!

But drives me more insane is the people that think they need the newest thing or else they feel bad about themselves.

I had my chat with the associate. And of course I centered it around markups. The man was very polite, but he didn't seem to have any useful information on the product.

This is the chatlog:




From what I see, he couldn't really give any information on it or any real reason why they mark up their products so severely. I was expecting to get the, "Mac OS X comes with free software" excuse. But I didn't

Anyone have any ideas why Apple marks up their products so much?

The RAM specifications link goes to here:
http://store.apple.com/us/memorymodel/ME_MB_W11_15_2_3

which indicates it's 2x4GB sticks and it's clocked at 1333mhz. It's also 5.3x more expensive then RAM clocked even higher sold on newegg.
