In other words, the margin on an iMac (targeted at more price-sensitive consumers) is probably way, way less than that of a TiBook. So keep that in mind.

Economy or Jobs? (Score:2, Interesting)
So, is this an indicator that the economy has turned around, and people are willing to spend hard earned cash on a good computer system? Or is it the masterful leadership of Jobs that has turned this computer company around?
Although I do think the economy is playing a part in this, I think that it is more the strong leadership of Jobs who has been able to deliver on the hype, and who has focused the creative talents of his employees to produce an excellent operating system, and some cool looking computers and computing devices.

Still I agree with you, I don't think it's the
economy picking back up. (Actually, it's not so
much picked up as bottomed out, but I digress...)
Apple's been turning in decent quarterly results
since the downturn started. They must be doing
something right.
The stock is too pricey... (Score:1)
Yes, I think Apple makes great products; and I may buy one later this year. The stock, however, is fully valued.

Remember folks, almost every other home computer company is really struggling to make numbers these days. Apple made them with production problems.
