Well as Apple is running a natural monopoly they don't have to price fix. Macs are over priced for what they are, but as competition is impossible for Mac hardware they can't be done for price fixing.

With the move to Intel hardware, this will all change...

Maybe. Although the only difference hardware-wise between a current Mac and a PC is the motherboard and processor. The rest of a Mac is all wintel off the shelf.
I don't think that getting volume x86 mobos is going to make that big a change to Apples costs or the huge markup they paste on their products. They've spent years saying that not being beige is worth the extra you pay for a Mac, why change now?
