Hmm if Apple's QC is really that great to justify the extra cost, explain this:

Apparently Gizmodo has reported that the iMac has been suffering from yellowing LCD from over here: http://gizmodo.com/5435561/my-second-imac-is-busted-too
FYI, Gizmodo is a reputable tech site and that apparently quite a number of the commenters are having the same issue as stated.
If you spent quite an amount of money on your iMac only to realise that the factory-fresh iMac has screen problems, how would you feel?
That applies to all other Apple-related computers and devices.

I think the supporters will say "See, my monitor can turn yellow! So cool and creative!"
Apple can simply get away with it because most of the fanboys won't see any problems at all even if their machine is burning up. That's the problem.
Worse is the pro market which Apple once had the upper hand. We are simply ignored and sidelined to make way for gadgets for 17 year old brats. Glossy, shiny, chromy kinda crap. I won't be surprised if suddenly Apple decided to drop their pro desktop division since they are too busy making gadgets instead of real machines for work.
What's so great about the Macbook Pro that makes it command such a high price anyway? No removable battery, no Expresscard slot, glossy screen as standard, screaming for attention looks... something rich brats would want. Ask a professional photographer or designer and see if they actually want all those things.
If Apple doesn't fix their Mac Pro and iMac issues, or even bother to update their Ancient Cinema Display, it simply gives a clear sign. Apple only cares about making portable gadgets and shiny toys.
Cheers.

Not meant for the normal masses!It's correct shade is "Canary $hit yellow" Which is closely allied to the volvo colour "flying $hite yellow" ......
I agree with you wholeheartedly. And FYI, I have never made such type of statements. I did not say that Macs are superior than PCs. All I am saying is that Macs don't suck as much as most people think.
Just to remind you that the topic is "Why is MacBook (Pro) much more expensive than normal laptop?".
If you are suggesting that your laptop is that 'normal laptop' then you have answered the question yourself - the MacBook Pro is much more expensive because, as you have admitted, it has better specifications. It might be good enough for most people but we all know that the prices go up based on the specs.
This is the type of statements that I am wondering about: better specs AND lower prices. Ian's laptop is older and has lower specs (but good enough for him) so it just follows that it is cheaper. But Cartman now says 'better specs at lower prices'.
What brand and model of laptop is that and how much does it cost? Btw, not trying to debunk that statement here. Think of it as someone asking for a recommendation on which laptop to buy - you are looking for hardware that has the same spec as a MacBook Pro but you don't want to pay as much. Clear enough?
You left out the fact that the old centrino has been relegated to a backup notebook, while the new one is a dual centrino and that will run rings around any Mac currently in production.
