I want an apple mac probook so bad but I went to Best Buy (which I would normally never do) and they start at like 2,000$..
So then I tried craigslists and ebay and most people sell them for 800$ at least and you cant even make sure you get ILIFE and such...
Whats a poor boy like me to do?

But you don't understand... I am in a very high-class family with old money and as I work through my thirties I need to stay at home and not work so I can maintain my nice skin and cheekbones.
Never mind that when my dad passes on I'll be homeless with no skills, but it is great to have a music career to fall back on! I'll just mosey on over to Starbucks and buy my sweet tea now. I just wish someone would give me a nice computer so I could post here from Starbucks!

"Why are Apple Pro books so expensive?"
So people who live in their father's basement making $30 a week can't have one.

gerrymanderer2 (OP) posts several lies on ffu daily - many\.10think he's a fx co gov worker who is getting paid to do it for false DNC democrat "advertising". he floods ffu with useless posts to bump down major news, posts fecal matter, mutilated bodies, child porn, foreign drug ads and sneaker ads, tells people to kill themselves and government should seize them and put them on psych pills in prison - decided by democrat gov of course, promotes kangaroo courthouse trials, gives anti-religious rants, gives satanic ritual rants, posts black males with large dicks on white young females, portends white low birth rate and fall of USA, food tampering/poisoning, and anything possible to DEMORALIZE white people on ffu. (perhaps a chinese prisoner or isis member - but definitely knowledgeable of fx co gov from the inside at times). the website operator has told him "not to post or return" which are still posted - not removed, by the sysop: not because of a political leaning but for continual illegal and gross spam along with messages that are only to demoralize if not kill others. he/she plays at financial terrorism as well: continuall reporting false financial data, and fake emergency please from (fake members of the community he makes up)
G2 HAS BEEN POSTING ANTI-APPLE ADS ON FFU FOR SEVERAL YEARS - AND FOR MOST OF THOSE YEARS SIMPLY LYING ON FACTS NOT SIMPLE MIS-CONCEPTIONS
if you added up the part cost of that laptop buying the compenents seperately retail: it would add to much more than $2,000

apple always used the finest parts
Dell laptops were just as expensive if not more at the time
$2,000 for a laptop in this year was a desperate attempt by apple to get in the market
if you added up the part cost of that laptop buying the compenents seperately retail: it would add to much more than $2,000
