Therefore, this price and feature structure is simply good business for Apple. I would not be surprized if the Cube winds up on the desks of a lot of corporate executives. Some think of the Cube as a three dimensional Powerbook because it likely uses the same components as the Powerbooks. This is interesting. This would explain the extra cost too.
Miniature components are always more expensive to build.
Don't be like so many others and think that the Cube is just a new and unique design statement. It is beautiful, but that's not really why the Cube exists at all. The purpose of the Cube really is totally astonishing once you get it. The Cube is THE computer of the next decade. The Cube is history being made, folks.
