I think the only problem Apple have is the relatively slow CPU speed.

Joe Soap, who knows nothing about about computers will go into PC world, see these Macs that the price ticket/spec sheet on the shelf will tell him runs at 1.25 Ghz, then in another part of the store, will see a PC that comes with monitor, keyboard, mouse and at least a 2.5Ghz processor, but for a similar price.

I would say he would go for the PC. He would not know that the Mac is more efficient for a lot of things, so the speed difference isn't actually that great.
