You have already been shown that this is not the case:

For the most part, the two systems are comparable, indicating
that at least for a laptop, Apple�s pricing fits in line with
comparable hardware. Certain things like shared memory for
graphics leave some performance desires for the XPS, but the
XPS has a strong leg up on the MacBook Pro with the larger
screen size.
...
At this point, the Envy is $300 more expensive than the
MacBook Air. Although the Envy 133 does include an external
optical drive, tacking on Apple�s quite expensive $99 MacBook
Air SuperDrive to the purchase of the MacBook Air still
leaves a $200 gap.
...
The above is essentially a baseline Mac Pro replicated using
the cheapest minimum required components to build. The
difference? A negligible $5.67. Those who claim that they can
build "the same" PC for half the price are at this point
baseless.

Bottom line: Assuming that you want a high-end notebook PC
designed to work, play and be your everyday machine with
style, the MacBook Pro is a surprisingly good value. The
models that I compared it with, the Sony and the Dell, had
some extras here and there, but they were also more
expensive. The key to the perception that Macs are more
expensive is that Apple offers very few in-between models.
...
In the midrange, where lower-cost 13-in. LCD MacBook models
occupy price ranges from about $1,100 to $1,500, you may be
equally surprised. Apple's recently updated MacBooks (see the
technical specs) more than hold their own on
price/performance comparisons with other 12- and 13-in. LCD
computers from Sony, Toshiba and HP.
...
Bottom line: When you configure low-end and midrange
notebooks and desktops, you'll find that except at the very
bottom of the heap, Windows machines are roughly comparable
in price to Macs. There are fewer Mac models, so if your
needs vary from what Apple has decided on, you may find a
Windows model that costs less for you. But Apple's choices
make a lot of sense for most people, and when you do the
point-by-point comparison, Apple is actually a better value
for some needs.

In other words, you are knowingly lying.
