I think some people get sucked in to projections based on a brand. Yeah, the guy on TV who says he's a "Mac" is cool, but the company is still a multibillion dollar business with the highest customer satisfaction and initial product quality in the industry.

Margins on all of this stuff are razor-thin, but there should be an extra customer bonus for dealing with Apple directly, since they get all the margin.

But Apple wasn't unusually consumer-friendly in 1977, when I worked there, so I probably have a more realistic view of what to expect.
