I don't think it was an argument, it was a question. Why 5x?
Apparently the hardware used in Mac Pro costs more than $600, it would be interesting to price it. I saw a few comparisons with a similarly specd Dell when the Pros came out, Dell was more expensive (!)

This one's more recent:

I know what you mean when comparing Apple to Mercedes or Audi. I don't think they're that more reliable though. They can fail just like any Dell, HP or Sony.
Actually, Apple warranty is the biggest obstacle preventing it from entering business world. Other companies offer warranty upgrades: door to door, one day, replacement units, whatnot.. Apple offers you to book a genius and nothing you can work with while yours is being fixed.
