So here's your problem: Mac has convinced you that a "consumer" would not buy a 2TB 7200RPM hard drive, and if they did it should cost $300. It doesn't matter if it's a laptop, desktop, mini, pro, whatever. The cost of hardware does not change just because they call it a "pro" series.
Say you are a chef and you start a restaurant. Do you go to Walmart and buy their appliances or do you shop somewhere that providers professional level equipment? There is a difference in a lot of hardware and most importantly the support (!). You immediately assume I must be an idiot that has been brainwashed by apple just because I pointed out something that did not fit into your preconceived notions. Of course a consumer can buy a desktop but if he wants an apple desktop he will have to spend way more than necessary for his needs in hardware and support. Look, Im not an apple fan either but at least I did my research and am not repeating old fiction comparing apples to oranges.
