Yes, you can find machines with marginal configurations that may have the same processor as a Macbook Pro that appear to be very much cheaper. But they have less or slower memory, less capable/slower support chipsets, slower/smaller hard drives, less capable video cards, "home" versions of Windows (if you go that route), etc. By the time you configure an Intel-based machine to meet the same performance specs as an equivalent Apple machine, the difference shrinks to a couple of hundred dollars or less. THAT is the legitimate "Apple Tax", not the hundreds or thousands people claim.
