That&#x27;s a strawman. The Mac was significantly more expensive than the Apple ][, and the PC etc. Not to mention the various Commodore&#x27;s etc. Don&#x27;t even get me started on the Lisa. Just because the Mac was cheaper than a minicomputer or a workstation doesn&#x27;t mean it wasn&#x27;t expensive. For the demographic it targeted, it was a very expensive machine. The Mac had an MSRP of $2495 compared to the PC at around $1600.
