Haha, that's so true. I have spent so much money because of this site. Matter of fact, I just bought a Musical Fidality V-DAC.

Take for example their cinema displays, as a photographer I find them extremely useful because they're calibrated so well. This also applies to software that's exclusive to OSX, such as Aperture.
If you want into the audiophile field, how many laptops do you know that offer a toslink output and a decent internal DAC out of the box?
With that being said, I also have to express my utter despise for Beats and Bose products. Since in my opinion, they're overpriced and of bad quality.
Oh yeah, regarding campus headphones. I was wearing my SR80i's at the library, and this guy walked past me wearing the same headphones. He stopped, looked at me and said "Grado FTW".
I mean...yeah...you're paying for the beauty of the screen. I include that in things Apple does right category. Their screens are amazing...I could also argue that you pay for the beauty of a hassle free OS, too. That's going a bit too far though. Yeah, some of their exclusive software is very nice.
As far as the DAC comment goes though...Sure it may be nice right out of the box...but as is the way of Head-Fi, it'll be replaced in about...5 seconds. lol
